Reflecting on her new role, Cherish said, “I am delighted to be joining Paul in judging Celebrity Bake Off for SU2C. Stepping from the professional kitchen into the famous Bake Off tent felt like my first day of school – my heart was racing and I had butterflies in my tummy! Whilst I definitely haven’t left my ruler at home, judging these wonderful celebrities is about more than just precision, it’s about spreading joy and supporting a meaningful cause. To be part of SU2C and see the contestants push themselves out of their comfort zone for such a good cause was simply brilliant.”

Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding are also back, blending laughs and encouragement as the celebrities try to avoid those dreaded soggy bottoms and clinch the coveted Star Baker title.
