The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2025 for Stand Up To Cancer is back on Channel 4, but the show will have one major change as judge Dame Prue Leith has been replaced.
The new celebrity series of the baking show will see more familiar faces heading into the famous white tent as they try their hand at whipping up impressive bakes in the kitchen while also raising much-needed funds for Stand Up To Cancer.
As in previous years, the celebrities will be challenged to create their best bakes in the three rounds - the Signature, Technical and Showstopper challenges - and at the end of each episode, just one of the four will be crowned Star Baker.
First up in week one is married couple Chris and Rosie Ramsay along with siblings Scarlette and Stuart Douglas. Speaking of the challenge, Rosie told us: "I bake the odd cake with the kids every now and then. But I don’t think that exactly qualifies me as an expert." While Chris admitted: "I can’t bake at all. I’ve never made a cake in my life!" Now this we have to see!
Here is everything we know about The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2025 so far...

Roman Kemp, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Sarah Beeny and Maxine Peake take on a Signature challenge that takes cupcakes to a new level, and in the Technical they try not to get into a flap with a classic. They open their hearts in the Showstopper, as they recreate their most memorable romantic date in biscuit form.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2025 judges
Paul Hollywood is back in his usual presenting role, but one person missing from the judging lineup will be Dame Prue Leith as she is replaced by former co-owner and managing director of Leiths School of Food & Wine, and her longstanding friend, Caroline Waldegrave OBE.
It is understood that Prue's absence is temporary and she will be back for the main show later in the year. She told This Morning: "It's mainly because these things are filmed back to back. The whole way through the summer, so you start in April and you end at the end of August. Honestly, you get no time off. And, I'm getting a bit old and there's places I want to go, so I'm not doing this year's."
Speaking of Caroline joining the show, host Alison said: "Caroline and Prue are really good friends. Prue was telling us how amazing she was, so we were really excited about meeting her and she was lovely – an absolute breath of fresh air. Caroline got on really well with the bakers. She's not too strict. I don't think she's as strict as Paul. She’s a really lovely lady and really passionate about baking. Most of the jokes go over her head - she’s quite innocent. I found that endearing. She’s a lovely addition to the family."
The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2025 hosts
Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond will return to host and encourage our famous bakers in the Bake Off tent - and as with the main Bake Off show, expect lots of capers, silliness and of course, pep talks from Alison as bakers get the wobbles.
