Celebrity Bake Off 2022 line-up: Full cast list of famous contestants
Here are all the famous faces entering the tent for the 2022 SU2C special.
It wouldn't be Tuesday without another episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off.
So far, we've seen some amazing famous faces take to the kitchen to show off their baking skills, including Strictly Come Dancing star Motsi Mabuse, Taskmaster's Alex Horne and Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore.
And this week will see the final group of celebrities in this year's line-up stepping up to the plate.
For the last episode, comedian and actor Mawaan Rizwan, actress Tracy-Ann Oberman, TV presenter Sophie Morgan and singer Ellie Goulding will go head-to-head in a series of baking challenges.
They'll be tasked with making a marble cake Signature and a jam roly-poly Technical, before taking on the final Showstopper - a biscuit in honour of their celebrity hero.
So, will this week's bakers have what it takes to win over the judges and earn them some Hollywood Handshakes in the process? Or will the heat in the kitchen be way too much to handle?
As the baking continues, here's everything you need to know about the Celebrity Bake Off 2022 contestants.

"I was forced to bake by my bosses at the last minute when one of the bakers became unavailable. I can’t tell you how happy I was that my humiliation was caught on camera." As for how Matt ended up donning an apron, it all came down to a coin-toss between him and Noel Fielding - congrats, Noel.
