Blackburn TV presenter AJ Odudu is to put her baking skills to the test this year as she is set to take part in this year’s Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off.

The 2021 Strictly Come Dancing finalist will join diver Tom Daley, singer Jesy Nelson and 17 other celebrities as they compete in the Great British Bake Off charity spinoff.

Each celeb will be trying to win the title of ‘star baker’ while helping fund cancer research.

The celebrity bakers will enter the hallowed canvas of the Bake Off tent, welcomed by hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas.

Over two days they will be challenged to put their baking skills, or lack thereof, to the test.

The full list of celebrities hoping to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith in the signature, technical and showstopper challenges are:

Stand Up To Cancer is a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.

More than £93 million has been raised in the UK to date.

In January, AJ and Rylan Clark-Neal hosted the Eurovision Handover and Allocation Draw.

She has also been announced as the host for this year’s Comic Relief alongside David Tennant, Joel Dommett, Paddy McGuinness and Zoe Ball.
