The annual special of The Great British Bake Off will once again see Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith put 20 famous faces through their paces. Usual hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will also return to present the proceedings — and pester the contestants.
The celebrities will enter the tent in groups. First up is actor Jodie Whittaker (Time) with singer Paloma Faith, satirist Munya Chawawa and broadcaster Spencer Matthews.
In a bid to reflect the channel's core values, the logo will be split up into five segments, called bold, colourful, creative, entertaining and spirited. It will appear on Channel 5, 5USA, 5Star and on its demand service.

This American import is being given a very special British makeover. Hosted by former Spice Girl Mel B and rapper Professor Green, the show will have all your favourite celebrities miming their hearts out for the studio audience’s votes.
