Taking on a Signature, Technical and Showstopper tonight (23rd March) are Roman Kemp, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Maxine Peake and Sarah Beeny, all of whom will be vying to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Caroline Waldegrave.

In their challenges, the celebrities must take cupcakes to a new level, try not to get into a flap with a classic and, finally, recreate their most memorable romantic date in biscuit form.

For one celebrity, Sarah Beeny, "slapdash" is the only way she'd describe her cooking style. But could this prove an issue in the Bake Off tent?

While we wait to find out, read on for everything you need to know about Sarah Beeny as she takes part in The Great Celebrity Bake Off.

While Sarah does like food, she wouldn't describe herself to be a "foodie".

"I like everything that goes around food," she said. "I like sitting with friends, and I like chatting and drinking wine, but I don’t really care what it is that’s on the plate."

Bake Off is one show that Sarah likes, despite her not watching much television.

She told Channel 4: "I really like Bake Off. I don’t watch much telly, to be honest. In fact, I’d go so far as to say I don’t really know how to turn it on. I’m not very good at sitting still long enough to watch telly."

The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer continues on Sunday 23rd March at 7:40pm on Channel 4.
