Prime minister's wife Samantha Cameron, pop star Will Young and ex-Spice Girl Geri Horner (formerly Halliwell) are set to bake it out in the new series of The Great Sport Relief Bake Off.

The four-part series will air early this year and will see 16 celebs competing in an hour-long special episodes.

Of course, Bake Off wouldn't be Bake Off without judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, who will be back to judge the celebrity bakers in their bid to become Sport Relief Star Baker.

Jennifer Saunders, Sarah Millican, Ed Byrne and resident Bake Off presenter Mel Giedroyc will present one episode each.

In true Bake Off style, the contestants will create signature, technical and showstopper challenges in every show, but it will be singers, footballers and comedians among the famous faces crouching by their ovens...

We can't wait!

On your marks, get set... BAKE!
