The Great British Bake Off has unveiled the full line-up for this year’s celebrity Stand Up To Cancer spin-off show, and fans have been given a sneak peek at the first episode.

Joining Paul Hollywood, Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond is new judge Caroline Waldegrave CBE. The show will return to screens for its eighth series, with episode one set to air on Sunday, March 16.

Married couple Chris and Rosie Ramsey will compete against each other, while Scarlette Douglas faces off against her brother Stuart in a sibling rivalry. The celebrities will be tasked with making classic scones, a chocolatey old-school favourite, and a cake that represents their career highlight.

It has already been announced that long-standing judge Prue Leith has stepped down from her role and has been replaced by her close friend Caroline, who was previously the co-owner and managing director of Leith’s School of Food and Wine.

Following the announcement of the full line-up months ago, we’ve now been given a preview of podcasters and married couple Chris and Rosie, as well as sibling property experts Scarlette and Stuart, in the famous kitchen, reports Wales Online.

Fans will also get their first look at new judge Caroline in action. She can be seen sitting alongside Paul Hollywood, while hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond pose in a cheerful photo.

As the programme gears up for its imminent broadcast, each episode will see four celebrities go head-to-head in the Signature, Technical and Showstopper rounds, demonstrating their baking prowess.

The fate of the show’s stars will be in the hands of Paul and Caroline, who will decide who triumphs to secure a spot in the next round or faces the dreaded bake-off elimination.

Earlier this year, Channel 4 unveiled a star-studded line-up for this year’s series, including podcaster Sarah Beeny, comedian Adam Buxton, and Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway.

Viewers can also look forward to seeing journalist and Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg, model and author Ellie Goldstein, Loose Women’s Gloria Hunniford OBE, and actor Jim Howick under the famous tent.

The cast is rounded off with director Gbemisola Ikumelo, The One Show host Roman Kemp, comedian Jamali Maddix, actress Maxine Peake, and actor Tommy Tiernan.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer will air on Channel 4 on Sunday March 16 at 7.40pm
