News PressBee .. Radio Times Watch the post from Celebrity Bake Off confirms new judge and line-up for 2025 – including Ghosts and Taskmaster stars, Now to the details
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer will be back on our screens this spring, and now the star-studded line-up for the new season has been announced.
It’s always an eclectic mix of some of TV’s best known faces, but this time around, the celebrity contestants will also be joined by a brand new judge.
That’s right, Prue Leith will not be in this season of Celebrity Bake Off, but never fear, her replacement is none other than her close friend and former co-owner and managing director of Leiths School of Food & Wine, Caroline Waldegrave.
Waldegrave has also co-written a number of cookbooks with Leith, so it’s safe to say that the new judge knows a thing or two about what makes a stellar baked good.
Of course, Waldegrave will be joined by Bake Off stalwart Paul Hollywood, who will undoubtedly be dishing out his anticipated handshakes to the best of the bunch.
