Hollywood star 'signs up for Celebrity Bake Off' after huge Netflix success
Rumours surrounding which stars are set to appear in the next series of The Great British Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer have already started swirling, and the last name to be thrown into the ring is a famous actress.
The hit celebrity edition of the show, which tends to air every spring on Channel 4, sees four famous faces join hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding in the tent each week to compete to be crowned Star Baker.
This year's series saw the likes of Roman Kemp, Kate Garraway, Gloria Hunniford, Chris Ramsey and Scarlette Douglas show off their baking skills.
Following in their footsteps is Hollywood actress Ambika Mod, who has reportedly signed up for the next series of The Great British Celebrity Bake Off.
"Bosses were thrilled to sign Ambika up - she's a fan of the show so loved doing it," a source told The Sun.
Reach PLC has contacted Channel 4 for comment.
Ambika, 29, is an actress, comedian and writer, who is best known for starring in BBC's This Is Going to Hurt and Netflix series One Day.
She played Emma Morley in One Day, which is an adaptation of David Nicholls' novel of the same name. The series proved to be immensely popular with Netflix viewers and saw Ambika's fame skyrocket overnight.
In 2025, the actress has appeared in Black Bag, Disney+ thriller The Stolen Girl and action comedy Sacrifice.
Ambika is the latest star to be rumoured to be appearing on The Great British Celebrity Bake Off, with names such as JoJo Siwa and Molly-Mae Hague having also been linked to the show so far.
It's rumoured that Love Island star Molly could be set to add baking to her skillset, while JoJo is reportedly set to add the show to her long list of TV ventures, following her stint on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.
Edith Bowman is also said to be taking part in the Channel 4 series, in addition to comedian Babatunde Aleshe.
Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond host both the civilian and celebrity versions of Bake Off, while Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith are usually on judging duties.
However, the 2025 series of Celebrity Bake Off saw Prue replaced by her close friend Caroline Waldegrave.

I am fully invested #CelebrityGogglebox; 'Altho someone needs to tell her she's not watching tv right.

Other celebs that featured included This Morning's Alison Hammond and broadcaster Sara Cox. The Sun previously revealed that Luke Littler had agreed to join the show.

Their last red carpet appearance was at The Olivier Awards in London in April 2022, and while Hannah has never spoken out about the break up, in 2023 she referred to herself as a single mother in an interview. Asked by Michelle Visage on the if she had time for men, Hannah initially joked 'no', before adding: 'I mean I think we all have time if you make time. 'But I'm a pretty picky girl really and have such a very specific kind of criteria of things. 'One of the main things with guys, just come on man, positivity - positivity and charisma and I'm your gal. 'But there's an awful lot of misogs (miserable old gits) out there. I don't need it.' She added: 'I don't go much on stereotypical cutey pie, whatever, sexy, whatever. 'I want a guy that scoops me up and goes 'I've got you, I don't care if you've got your make-up on or not, I'm happy to lie in bed with you and have Marmite on toast and a glass of milk. 'And just be a lovely positive, charismatic soul.' While Hannah keeps her personal life incredibly private, her most significant recent relationship was with the father of her child, Gianluca. The pair are thought to have started dating in 2012 after the actress met the Italian hotelier through a mutual friend. They started dating officially shortly after and welcomed Kitty in 2016 after years of fertility issues.
