Cancer Research UK and Channel 4's annual fundraising show to support Stand Up To Cancer has become a much-loved fixture on the schedules, with a host of the U.K.'s national treasures showing off their baking prowess (or lack thereof) for a fantastic cause. Just like the regular "Bake Off" show, they'll prepare Signature, Technical and Showstopper challenges in a bid to be crowned this year's Star Baker.
After winning over a new fleet of fans in last year's "Celebrity Big Brother", former chid star JoJo Siwa is perhaps the most recognizable face internationally, with singer Rag'n'Bone Man, radio DJ Scott Mills and influencer Molly-Mae Hague some of the other most famous names. And with comedians aplenty -- Richard Herring, Roison Conaty, Joe Wilkinson, Rose Matafeo and Jon Richardson to name but a few -- you can expect plenty of laughs to spill out of the tent.
Hopefully the baking will at least be serious, though, with that coveted Star Baker award waiting one celeb at the end of the six weeks. Read on and we explain in our guide below how to watch "The Great Celebrity Bake Off" 2026 online from anywhere in the world and, potentially, absolutely free.
