Heaven for any Bake Off and Louis Theroux fans.
After the cast of Derry Girls absolutely shined during a fantastic festive edition of Bake Off, we're delighted to say the kitchen still works and that no fires were started!
However, the good news keeps on coming because the Great Celebrity Bake Off in aid of Stand Up To Cancer is back for a new series and as always, a host of celebrities will be entering the tent.
The five-part series will air on Channel 4 in 2020 and it will see famous faces from across the worlds of acting, comedy, entertainment and sport come together to do their bit in the fight against cancer.
After the
BBC announced that his latest documentary will air this week, Louis Theroux fans will get to see a very different side of the broadcaster because he's just one of the many famous faces that will be vying for the title of Star Baker.
Theroux will be joined by the likes of James Blunt, Kelly Brook, James Buckley, Richard Dreyfuss, Tan France, Russell Howard, Alex Jones, Scarlett Moffatt, Ovie Soko, Carol Vorderman, and more in the special episodes of the show.
Each episode will see four celebrities battle it out over three rounds - the Signature, the Technical and the Showstopper - in a bid to be crowned Star Baker.
On hosting duties as ever are Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig while Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood return as the judges.
At present, no exact premiere date has been announced for the five-part series but it will air on Channel 4 in 2020.
Speaking about the five-part series, Sarah Lazenby, Head of Formats and Features at Channel 4, said, “The Great Celebrity Bake Off is a key ingredient in our Stand Up To Cancer recipe. We’ve seen the power of using comedy and entertainment to bring awareness and raise millions of pounds to fund pioneering cancer trials.
"We hope viewers will enjoy this year’s line-up of famous bakers, there’s never a dough moment as each bring something fresh and exciting to the tent.”
We can't wait.
Take a look at what's in store.
