Lady Waldegrave, a former co-owner and managing director of Leiths School of Food And Wine, will team up with judge Paul Hollywood to appraise the bakes of a new batch of famous faces.
Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway, veteran broadcaster Gloria Hunniford and TV presenter and property expert Sarah Beeny are among the stars hoping to impress on the upcoming series.
Also among the hopefuls are comedian Adam Buxton, Chicken Shop Date presenter Amelia Dimoldenberg, radio host Roman Kemp, actress Maxine Peake, singer Self Esteem, actress and writer Meera Syal and model and activist Ellie Goldstein.

Each episode of the series will see four celebrities challenged to create their best bakes in the signature, technical and showstopper rounds, with one contestant crowned star baker.
Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will return to provide encouragement for the celebrity bakers as they go head-to-head in the Bake Off tent.
Stand Up To Cancer is a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.
The new Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer series will air on Channel 4 this spring.
