If you just can't get enough of the cozy comfort series that is The Great British Baking Show, here's some good news: Starting this weekend, you can catch the newest celebrity edition of the show, but only if you know where to look. The Great Celebrity Bake-Off for Stand Up To Cancer, as the show is formally called, is an annual tradition that sees loads of British actors, musicians, and other personalities test their baking skills under the tent, all in an effort to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer, a charity that funds cancer research. This year's five episodes will feature celebs like Chicken Shop Date creator Amelia Dimoldenberg and Sex Education star Jim Howick, among many others. (Here's the complete list of participants who will compete against each other on the series.) The show is set to air on Sunday nights on Channel 4 in England, but the good news is that you can still tune in if you live outside the UK.
