Anton Du Beke and Joe Marler 'sign up' for The Great Celebrity Bake Off: Stand Up to Cancer
Anton Du Beke and Joe Marler will appear on the next series of Channel 4's The Great Celebrity Bake Off: Stand Up to Cancer, according to reports.
Anton Du Beke and Joe Marler have reportedly signed up for the next series of The Great Celebrity Bake Off: Stand Up to Cancer.
The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 59, and The Celebrity Traitors 2025 Faithful, 35, will be hoping to impress with their creations in the Channel 4 show's famed white tent.
A source told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "Anton is always TV gold and has even won a National Television Award for Talent Show Judge because he is loved by so many.
"Likewise Joe’s good nature and quick wit won him hordes of new fans when he appeared on The Celebrity Traitors so he will no doubt be brilliant on Bake Off.
"Of course it’s all for charity so no one will mind, but it’ll no doubt be noted that two of the Beeb’s finest have lent a hand for Channel 4.
"The BBC were quick to cultivate a profile for Joe as one of their flock after The Traitors with his own BBC podcast, Joe Marler Will See You Now."
Anton may have an advantage on The Great Celebrity Bake Off: Stand Up To Cancer as he worked as a trainee baker at the age of 17.
Speaking to presenter Christine Lampard, 47, on Magic Radio in 2015, the ballroom dancer said: "I started off as a baker. That was the job I had the longest really. When I was about 17 I did that for about four or five years - I worked up from just a trainee to a skilled baker.
"If they do a celebrity version of the Bake Off again, I might have a go."
Also, Anton, his wife Hannah, and their twins, George and Henrietta, starred in a baking series segment on ITV's This Morning in December 2020.
Anton Du Bake At Christmas was a three-part segment that included documenting their trip to buy a Christmas tree, going on winter walks, a lesson in wreath making, and how to make stained glass biscuits, mince puffs, and a Christmas trifle.
He said at the time: "Being able to bake gives me great joy and being able to do it with the children too is just marvellous. It’ll be very festive indeed.
"Christmas time for us is joyous and very traditional, and with two three-and-a-half-year-olds it’s full of fun and excitement.
"Best thing in the world. As a young baker, the mince puffs were far more popular than the pies, and the stained glass biscuits make lovely decorations for a family tree too."
