When does Celebrity Bake Off 2022 start?
IT’S THAT time of the year again when star bakers show off their cooking skills on Celebrity Bake Off.
The special edition of the Great British Bake Off is in aid of Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer.
When does Celebrity Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off start?
The show kicks off on Tuesday March 22, 2022 on Channel 4 at 8pm.
It will then continue every Tuesday at the same time, with episodes also on All 4.
Bake judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith return for this celebrity edition of the show, along with hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas.
In a twist though, Matt will actually be taking part in the competition in one of the episodes as a contestant, after a celebrity dropped out.
Stand Up To Cancer is a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.
Since launching in 2012 it has raised over £62million funding 52 important trials and projects involving 11,000 cancer patients across the country.
