Watch Celebrity Bake Off season 9 free streams where, perhaps for the first time, your heart will go out to Paul Hollywood as the blue-eyed grump runs the gauntlet of culinary calamities made by famous UK faces in the name of charity. For 2026, he's joined by Bake Off: The Professionals judge Cherish Finden, who makes the departed Prue Leith look warm and cuddly. With a fierce reputation to maintain, here's hoping she doesn't hold back.
You can watch Celebrity Bake Off 2026 online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.
Premiere: Sunday, March 22 at 7.40pm GMT |
Watch free: Channel 4 (UK) |
The 24-strong lineup of participants include Roisin Conaty (S1), Jon Richardson (S2), Joe Wilkinson (S2), Rose Matafeo (S6) and Tom Davis (S6), who are each back for a second bite of the cherry. Wilkinson – incredibly – won his episode, while fellow comedian Richardson spent most of his previous appearance in the Bake Off tent contemplating the cleanup and whether that should be part of the allotted time.
Which brings us neatly to Molly-Mae "we all have the same 24 hours in a day" Hague, who found fame through Love Island in 2019 and has monetized virtually every second of her life ever since, thanks to a never-ending conveyor belt of brand deals and reality shows.
Code of Silence's Rose Ayling-Ellis, Mobland's Emmett J. Scanlan, This is Going to Hurt's Ambika Mod and Sugababes singer Mutya Buena are also getting involved, as is comedian Richard Herring, a survivor of testicular cancer. The main purpose of the silliness and hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding's antics, is raising awareness of Cancer Research UK's Stand Up To Cancer fundraising campaign. Donate here.
