The Great British Bake Off celebrity special: Who’s in it and when is it?
By Callum Gunn
The Great British Bake Off is preparing for a celebrity special in the Stand Up To Cancer TV special. Here is a look at who is in it and when it is.
Fans of The Great British Bake Off have been without their Bake Off fix for several months now, and they are going to be without it for several months more as we don’t expect the show to be back until later this year.
But, in the meantime, fans can get their fix with special episodes of the series like the up and coming The Great British Bake Off celebrity special.
