Hurrah! The Tent has reopened once more as four celebrities found themselves behind the most famous of baking benches. Sci-Fi star Daisy Ridley joined comedian Rob Beckett, Bake Off Professionals host Tom Allen and X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke to put themselves through their baking paces. As ever, Bake Off legends Howard Middleton and Jane Beedle were on hand to give their expert opinion, as our new host Emily stepped into the hot seat.


This series is of course being aired to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer, and if you'd like to join us in supporting this important cause then you can donate here. We'll be doing an Easter Webinar with Jane Beedle on April 3rd to support the charity and they'll be more details on that to come.
