The Sun can exclusively reveal that the new series - set to air next year - will star the fabulous Cherish Finden as a judge.
Viewers will recognise Cherish as the multi-award winning Executive Pastry Chef from Singapore who joined Bake Off: The Professionals in 2016.
The 2000 Culinary Olympics champion has enjoyed an incredible career and is also the judge for Best Afternoon Tea UK.
The 57-year-old professional works for one of London's top hotels - The Langham - as their Executive Pastry Chef.
She started her first job aged 14 and soon asked if she could work in the kitchen, before she began attending cookery school at the age of 16.
Cherish soon honed her skills in the best hotels in Singapore, including the famous six star Raffles Hotel and The Sheraton.
The International Pastry Consultant is no stranger to being in the spotlight and has been on a number of TV shows during her career.
These include Heston's Great British Food on Channel 4, BBC's MasterChef, Australian MasterChef, BBC2's An Extra Slice and Junior Bake Off.
She was asked to design a cake for the Queen's 90th birthday and she ended up creating Windsor Castle in cake form for the occasion.
The new role comes after Channel 4 star Prue Leith stepped back from all GBBO specials.
Molly Mae drops HUGE C4 show hint as she returns to reality TV for first time since Love Island
Cooking expert and friend Caroline Waldegrave filled in her shoes during the most recent series.
In 2024, The Great British Bake Off judge confirmed in an interview with This Morning that she would no longer be taking part in the specials of the show.
However, she will still star alongside Paul for the main series.
Excitement is already rising as a Hollywood star is due to take part in the next series.
The next Stand Up To Cancer special is shaping up to be a cracker with some big names taking part.
Hollywood star Ambika Mod, who rose to prominence in This Is Going To Hurt, and shot to stardom in One Day, is the most recently announced star.
Former Geordie Shore Vicky Pattison star has signed up to be judged by Cherish and Paul Hollywood.
We previously revealed that Babatunde Aleshe has also signed up for the special.
He will be joining the likes of Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague and former Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa.
Other names include RAG 'N' Bone Man, Edith Bowman and 8 Out of 10 Cats favourite Jon Richardson.

Girlfriend finally says ‘yes' to besotted boyfriend who popped question 43 times in seven years

Luke had been desperate to marry Sarah since 2018 43rd TIME LUCKY Girlfriend finally says 'yes' to besotted boyfriend who popped question 43 times in seven years Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BESOTTED boyfriend popped the question to the love of his life 43 times before she finally said yes. Luke Wintrip, 36, had been desperate to marry Sarah, 38, since 2018.

Marketing CEO Sarah said of the first rejection: 'I just said, 'No, we've only been together for six months'. "I loved him but I didn't want to say 'yes' to something I later retracted.' But tattoo artist Luke vowed to keep persisting. And on the 42nd proposal, Sarah told him: 'Next time you ask, I'm going to say yes, but just you wait.' Luke waited a year before taking Sarah to Greenwich in South East London — the home of Greenwich Mean Time. He said: 'This is the centre of the world and you are the centre of the world and I want you to marry me.' Mum-of-three Sarah, from Chelmsford, Essex, conceded: 'He finally won my heart. "He should probably get a Guinness World Record. I am grateful he persisted for so long.' The couple married in Jamaica in May — although it did not go to plan as Sarah had to struggle through the pain and ended up in hospital with a life-threatening infection when a cyst burst in her groin.

Inside Brooklyn Beckham's ‘financial flex' in feud with dad David as his £85m superyacht dwarfs family's £16m vessel

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BROOKLYN Beckham is trying to outdo his estranged dad David — by going on holiday on his billionaire in-laws' massive yacht. The 26-year-old sailed into Saint-Tropez in an £85million, 80-metre (260ft) vessel called Project X. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 10 Brooklyn Beckham with wife Nicola on holiday on her billionaire parents' massive yacht Credit: Instagram 10 David and Victoria arrived in the same French dock in a £16million, 40-metre (130ft) yacht named Seven Credit: INSTAGRAM/VICTORIA BECKHAM 10 10 It is rented by his wife Nicola's parents Nelson and Claudia Peltz at a cost of £1.2million a week. Two days later, Brooklyn's dad David, 50, and mum Victoria, 51, arrived in the same French dock in a £16million, 40-metre (130ft) yacht named Seven. A source said: 'Brooklyn's yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It's a financial flex. 'Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet. Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he's clearly enjoying the spoils.' Brooklyn's vessel, with a master suite, a VIP cabin, five double rooms and two twin cabins, has a crew of 28. It also boasts a 25ft by 9ft glass-sided swimming pool, a wellness suite, a spa and a 360-degree sundeck. David's yacht is half the size, with five cabins that sleep ten people, and up to seven crew members on board. The boat, which he bought in 2022, also features a spa bath on the upper deck as well as a 65ft garage, which is packed with water toys including a tender and a jet ski. David and Victoria bought Seven — so-called because of their daughter Harper's middle name — in an upgrade from a smaller £5million vessel. They are in Saint-Tropez with Harper, 14, and their other sons Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20. David and Victoria Beckham's agony as family feud explodes into WW3 and pals say 'Brooklyn has totally cut them off' Brooklyn, along with his wife Nicola, 30, no longer speak to his family following a much-publicised feud earlier this year, which The Sun understands was sparked by money. We first revealed the rift in May. But it worsened earlier this month after brothers Romeo and Cruz appeared to block Brooklyn and Nicola on social media. Those close to Brooklyn said a reconciliation with his family was off the table, adding: 'There's too much water under the bridge.' Brooklyn and Nicola have posted pictures from their break on social media — including one of her naked in one of the yacht's baths. Aspiring cook, photographer and model Brooklyn also posted a snap of himself drinking a bottle of beer next to billionaire businessman Nelson. 10 Brooklyn taking a dip in St. Tropez, where he is staying with his wife Credit: BackGrid 10 Brooklyn shared snaps following his luxury boat trip on Instagram Credit: Instagram 10 Brooklyn hangs out on the mega-expensive vessel Credit: Instagram Brooklyn and Nicola have also been seen out shopping in posh boutiques in and around Saint-Tropez. He also met his godfather, singer Sir Elton John, last week in Cannes. Sir Elton is said to have tried to be a peacemaker in Brooklyn's feud — but is not taking sides. An insider said: 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He's utterly neutral in this row. He just wants everyone to be happy. 'He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather. It's a role he takes seriously.' 10 Brooklyn and Nicola no longer speak to his family following a much-publicised feud Credit: Instagram 10 Brooklyn and Nicola have posted pictures from their break on social media Credit: Instagram
