In tonight's episode, married couple Chris and Rosie Ramsey go up against each other alongside siblings Scarlette and Stuart Douglas, who also go head-to-head in the tent.

The duos are tasked with individually making tea-time classic scones, before they move on to a chocolatey old-school favourite and a recreation of their career highlight in cake.

But who are Scarlette and Stuart, and why are they taking part? Read on for all you need to know about the celebrity siblings in this year's Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off.

For the siblings, the pair have admitted that neither of them can bake - but they do love a good baked good if presented in front of them, especially a sticky toffee pudding and a banoffee pie for the brother and sister respectively.

"We're very competitive, and I really want to win, more than anything," said Scarlette when asked if she wanted to be named Star Baker.

"When Stuart and I did Love It Or List It for Black to Front on Channel 4, he won that episode, and I feel like I need a comeback. It’s 1-0 at the moment, I need to come back and draw 1-1."

While Stuart added: "Put it this way: There are four of us in this tent. If I come third, and my sister comes fourth, for me that’s a win."

As for why they are taking part, Stuart shared: "We’ve been affected by a lot of really close family and friends who have had cancer. We’ve lost loved ones recently. It seems that, as we get older, it’s becoming a lot more prevalent.

"When you're young, you hear of it, but you don’t really know those affected by it. Now we do. I think it’s really important that we all come together and try to help in whatever way we can."

The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer starts 7:40pm Sunday 16th March on Channel 4.
