Celebrity Bake Off 2026 lineup confirmed including JoJo Siwa and Molly-Mae Hague

The lineup for the next outing of the Celebrity Great British Bake Off has been revealed – and some big names are stepping into the famous tent.

In aid of Stand Up To Cancer, stars including JoJo Siwa, Molly-Mae Hague, Scott Mills, and Mark Wright will don aprons and attempt to impress the judges.

Joining them in the hopes of being crowned Star Baker are other major figures in the world of comedy, TV, and pop music, all ready to tackle the show’s signature, technical, and showstopper challenges – hopefully without disaster!

And in another exciting addition, accompanying Paul Hollywood in (potentially) dishing out some handshakes is internationally renowned pastry chef Cherish Finden.

Cherish, 58, who has also judged Bake Off: The Professionals on Channel 4, declared that she is ‘delighted’ to be joining the series, which Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will host.

So, without further ado, let’s meet the celebs completing our lineup – who do you think knows their crème brûlées from their chocolate soufflés, and who will be left with egg on their face?

Scott Mills

He’s best known for waking up the nation on BBC Radio 2’s Breakfast Show, but can DJ Scott Mills master a different kind of mixing?

Molly-Mae Hague

Influencer and businesswoman Molly-Mae Hague has made no secret of her love for baking in the past, as she always makes toddler daughter Bambi’s birthday cakes from scratch – but how will she fare when the pressure is on?

Rag’n’Bone Man

Rag’n’Bone Man is best known for his hits Human and Giant. With several Brit Awards already sitting pretty on his mantelpiece, the musician (whose real name is Rory Charles Graham) will surely be hoping to add another accolade after being made Star Baker.

Vicky Pattison

Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison was most recently seen on our screens on Strictly Come Dancing, where she topped the leaderboard with her fierce tango, so she’s no stranger to a bit of tension. We wonder if she’ll try her hand at a… Vicky Sponge.

Ralf Little

Ralf Little became a TV favourite with roles in comedy classics The Royle Family and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, before taking the lead on Death in Paradise. Let’s hope he can crack eggs like he can cases.

Mutya Buena

As 1/3 of the Sugababes, Mutya Buena is already sweet enough, but the pop star will, quite literally, have to ensure she’s pushing all the right buttons on her oven if she wants a chance of becoming Star Baker.

Richard Herring

Richard Herring is a stand-up comedian whose early work includes the comedy double act Lee and Herring. Can this ‘hidden master of modern British comedy,’ as he’s been described, bring top-class bakes as well as top-class laughs?

Mark Wright

Mark Wright has had his fingers in many pies throughout his career, having risen to fame on Towie before venturing into presenting and radio broadcasting. Perhaps baking is his hidden talent.

Nella Rose

YouTuber Nella Rose famously squealed her way through the Bushtucker Trials on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2023. Thankfully, she won’t have to brush shoulders with Nigel Farage this time.

Jon Richardson

Waterloo Road actor Jon Richardson is a TV veteran by this point, having appeared on all the hit comedy panel shows and even fronted his own programme with wife Lucy Beaumont – is he an underdog in this year’s lineup?

Rose Ayling-Ellis

Rose Ayling-Ellis stole hearts as Frankie Lewis in EastEnders before going on to make history as Strictly’s first-ever deaf contestant and eventual winner. She’ll be hoping her glittering track record will serve her well in the Bake Off tent.

Sam Thompson

Sam Thompson is beloved for his infectious, chaotic energy, but the podcaster will have to keep his cool when the heat turns up. Sam has already won I’m A Celeb, and he’s forever going big when it comes to charity, so has he got this in the bag?

Roisin Conaty

London-born comedian Roisin Conaty is typically seen on shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, The Big Fat Quiz, and Would I Lie To You. Her biggest project of late was co-hosting Last One Laughing UK, but can she stay calm and collected under Paul and Cherish’s watchful eyes?

JoJo Siwa

In a major signing for Celebrity Bake Off, Dance Moms child star JoJo Siwa enters the tent. The American performer reached the final of Celebrity Big Brother last year, where she met now-boyfriend Chris Hughes – can she replicate his Celebrity MasterChef success?

Emmett J. Scanlan

Irish actor Emmett J. Scanlan rose to stardom in 2011 as Hollyoaks baddie Brendan Brady. There’s no denying he’s mastered the art of portraying a convincingly detestable villain, but Bake Off will surely show us his softer, gooier side.

Aston Merrygold

He’s adored by thousands upon thousands of fans as 1/4 of boyband JLS and has an impressive theatre resume. Can Aston deliver a five-star performance on Celebrity Bake Off?

Edith Bowman

Scottish radio DJ Edith Bowman’s voice is likely to be familiar, as she’s hosted various slots on BBC Radio 1, plus various music-related television shows and festivals. But this time, she’ll take centre stage.

Alex Brooker

Funnyman Alex Brooker is a Channel 4 regular, thanks to his role as a co-host on The Last Leg. He fronts the panel show alongside Adam Hills and Josh Widdicombe, but the presenter will have to fly solo in the Bake Off challenges.

Ambika Mod

Actress Ambika Mod gained a huge fanbase thanks to her emotional performance in Netflix’s adaptation of One Day, in which Leo Woodall played her love interest. She also starred in BBC’s This Is Going to Hurt – let’s hope no one says that before trying her bakes.

Joe Wilkinson

Also on hand to bring the jokes is Joe Wilkinson, a comedian who has been making the UK laugh for over 20 years. This isn’t his first rodeo, however, as Joe actually won Celebrity Bake Off in 2019 – can he do it again?

Babatunde Aleshe

Babatunde Aleshe is a comic who’s had stints on the likes of Celebrity Gogglebox and Taskmaster, and he came seventh in I’m A Celeb in 2022. We’re sure he’ll be aiming for the top spot in this contest, though.

Rose Matafeo

Rose Matafeo is known for both her stand-up comedy and acting, having created the BBC sitcom Starstruck, in which she played the lead of Jessie. Try not to get too starstruck by all the other contestants in the tent, Rose!

Tom Davis

Murder in Successville star Tom Davis nearly completes our lineup. Like Joe, he, too, has set foot inside the Bake Off tent before, having competed in 2023 alongside David Schwimmer and Jesy Nelson. For his Showstopper, he made a festival toilet – hopefully his next won’t stink.

Judi Love

Last but never least, we have Loose Women’s Judi Love. The hilarious panelist has already done MasterChef too, where she placed third, not to mention she did Celebrity Bake Off three years ago as well. Is Judi a pro by this point? Time will tell…

Watch the Great Celebrity Bake Off on Channel 4 this spring.
