Bake Off judge Prue Leith will not assess the celebrities’ bakes this time around as she’s replaced by her “longtime friend” Caroline Waldegrave.
The show announced: “A massive welcome to Caroline Waldegrave OBE who is joining us as a judge for The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off.

Some fans have shared their excitement as the new judge joins fellow judge Paul Hollywood and presenters Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding.
One said: “Oh what a wonderful choice”.
