Amongst the famous faces to be hitting the famous Bake Off tent this week in a bid to raise awareness for Stand Up To Cancer is comedian and actress Ellie Taylor.

Starting her life in the showbiz world as a model, Ellie Taylor is a British comedian and actress who has appeared in countless episodes of our favourite panel shows including 8 Out of 10 Cats and Mock the Week.

The star also made an appearance alongside Hollywood actor Jason Sudeikis in his Emmy-award winning sports-comedy show Ted Lasso.

Last year, Ellie was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, partnered with fan-favourite and 2021 runner-up Johannes Radebe. The couple made it all the way to Week 10, before being eliminated in a dance-off against singer Fleur East and her partner Vito Coppola.

Who will Ellie Taylor be competing against?

Ellie will compete against the likes of Loose Women star Coleen Nolan and actor Joe Thomas - who is best known for his role as the hapless hopeless romantic Simon Cooper in The Inbetweeners.

Hosts Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding will be around to provide moral support to the celebs, and at the end of the episode, judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will reveal who is this week's Star Baker.

This will be Lucas's last season, after the Little Britain star revealed that he's quitting the main show last year - and will be replaced by presenter Alison Hammond.

The Great British Bake Off: Stand Up to Cancer continues on Channel 4 on Sunday 9th April. If you're looking for something to watch, check out our TV Guide or Streaming Guide. Visit our Entertainment hub for all the latest news.
