HEREFORDSHIRE singer Ellie Goulding will join celebrities including Olympian Sir Mo Farah and Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse for The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer on Channel 4.

The show's presenter comedian Matt Lucas will also showing off his baking skills for the fundraising show.

This year's crop of 19 celebrities also includes comedian and creator of Taskmaster Alex Horne, TV presenter Emma Willis, singer-songwriter Example and choirmaster Gareth Malone.

More recently, 35-year-old Goulding and husband Casper Jopling, who now live in Oxfordshire, welcomed their first child, Arthur, in 2021 and it was "the greatest joy" she had known.

In each episode celebrities will battle it out over three rounds – the Signature, the Technical and the Showstopper challenge – in a bid to be crowned Star Baker and impress judges Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith.

The upcoming series will see the show's Lucas switching from presenter to baker in an episode when he fills in for a missing baker.

He said: "I can't tell you how happy I was that my humiliation was caught on camera."

The programme, which also sees Noel Fielding hosting, is slated to air later this spring.

Stand Up To Cancer is a joint fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.
