The Great Christmas Bake Off 2022 line-up: Meet the celebrity contestants
A new line-up of Channel 4 celebs are descending on the Bake Off tent for the upcoming Christmas Eve special.
It wouldn't be Christmas without the annual Bake Off specials and this year, viewers are in for a proper Channel 4 treat as its stars of past and present test out their culinary skills.
While former Bake Off contestants are entering the tent for the New Year's special, Christmas Eve will see five faces from Channel 4 history try their best to impress Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
Earlier this month, Matt Lucas announced that he was leaving the show – however, he's due to present the two upcoming festive specials alongside Noel Fielding so fans won't be waving goodbye to him just yet.
From Steph's Packed Lunch star Miquita Oliver to Brookside's Claire Sweeney, big Channel 4 names will be whipping up a showstopper before watching the English National Ballet perform Swan Lake – but who are the famous faces taking part?
