The line-up for The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2019 is incredible
From Michelle Keegan and Jeremy Paxman to Hollywood star John Lithgow and Russell Brand, Channel 4 has pulled out all the stops for Stand Up To Cancer
The Great British Bake Off 2018 may be coming to an end, but Channel 4 has a trick up its sleeve: an incredible celebrity line-up for next year's Stand Up To Cancer special.
The full line-up for The Great Celebrity Bake Off 2019 was revealed during Friday night's Stand Up To Cancer extravaganza.
Our Girl star Michelle Keegan, The Crown actor John Lithgow, Love Island presenter Caroline Flack, Being Human's Russell Tovey and former Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman will all feature in the new series.
Comedians Russell Brand, Johnny Vegas, Jon Richardson and Joe Wilkinson are also among those baking to beat cancer, up against probably-not-at-all competitive Olympians and Paralympians including Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Nicola Adams and Hannah Cockroft.

Viewers were immediately impressed after Stand Up To Cancer revealed a first look at the celebrity series.
But they had one question...
Well, while there isn't a confirmed air date, the five-part series will air some time next year. This year's series aired in March, so we can expect a similar time for next year's show on Channel 4.
The 2018 series saw former Breakfast presenter Bill Turnbull feature as one of the celebrities. Just before his episode aired, he revealed to Radio Times that he had prostate cancer.
Twelve months after his diagnosis, he has written about his progress and his experience with chemotherapy. Read his column here.
Stand Up To Cancer raised over £24 million following Friday's broadcast. You can still donate to the campaign however – find out more from Channel 4 here.
