TOMMY TIERNAN IS set to don the iconic apron and enter the tent for the upcoming season of Channel 4′s The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer.
The Donegal comedian will compete in the baking competition against 20 famous faces, in the hopes of impressing the judges and raising funds for the UK-based cancer charity.
In each episode, four participants will face off, showcasing their baking skills in three rounds: Signature, Technical, and Showstopper, with one contestant earning the title of Star Baker.
Tommy will be joined by Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway, Loose Women’s Gloria Hunniford, and Chicken Shop Date’s Amelia Dimoldenberg.
Prue Leith’s close friend, Caroline Waldegrave, will step in as co-judge for this season, taking on the role previously held by Leith.
Waldegrave, a former co-owner and managing director of Leiths School of Food and Wine, will join judge Paul Hollywood to assess the celebrities’ creations.
Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will return to offer their support and encouragement to the celebrity bakers as they compete in the iconic Bake Off tent.
The popular show is expected to air on Channel 4 this Spring.

Tommy who?
It’s a weird Arc that noel fieldings career has taken.
@Setanta O’Toole: I miss Mel and Sue, and Sandi. Matt Lucas was so awkward but Alison fits in well :) Noel oddly works, been a fan since the Boosh.
@S banter: loved the boosh and luxury comedy. ‘AM I NOOOOOOOTHHHING!?’
@Setanta O’Toole: didn’t he turn out to be a bit russell brandy?
@eoin fitzpatrick: did he? Didn’t hear. I didn’t think he’d be doin a show like bakeoff if he did.
There’s a Tommy lookalike in the photo. Only people with high iq can find him in 5 seconds
@P. V. Aglue: I had to do a double take myself.
