Celebrity Bake Off is back and this year a whole new host of celebrities have flocked to the tent for a special series for the Stand Up To Cancer Charity. The first four celebrities took part in a signature challenge, a technical challenge and a showstopper. Here is everything you need to know about the celeb who came out on top in the Channel 4 series.
The celebrity edition of Bake Off is a spin-off series to the original Great British Bake Off and it is all for a good cause.
The first episode aired on March 10 and the first celebs to take to the tent included renowned documentary maker Louis Theroux, comedian Jenny Eclair, comedian Russell Howard and Love Island star Ovie Soko.
The contestants had to impress the judges with their culinary creations, and it was down to Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith to decide who came out on top.
The series was once again hosted by comedians Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, who brought plenty of jokes.

Who won Star Baker on Celebrity Bake Off?
Despite the fan favourite being documentary maker Louis Theroux, it was Jenny Eclair who pipped him to the post in the running for Star Baker.
Theroux had been one of the first celebs in history to receive three handshakes for his pizza-inspired cookie.
Fans thought he was bound to take the top spot after wowing the judges with his signature bake.
But as Jenny Eclair managed to consistently pull it out of the bag she was given the prestigious title.
The 59-year-old impressed the judges with her choux pastry and host Toksvig made a joke about the celebrity, whose surname is Eclair, making her own eclairs.
After being crowned the winner of her round, Eclair said she was thrilled and she seemed surprised.
She said: “It is ridiculous. It is the silliest thing I have ever done, really, because it is the most unlikely thing.
“The [Star Baker] pinny is staying on and once the pinny falls off I might have Star Baker tattooed across my chest.”

The judges said she had finished way ahead of the other contestants and came across as a natural baker.
Eclair secured the first Hollywood handshake of the series for her creative biscuit in the first challenge.
Theroux came a very close second with his three handshakes not being forgotten. Soko came third and Howard came fourth.
Eclair had created a Frida Kahlo inspired biscuit which blew the judges away, and she continued to impress with her 3D choux pastry sculpture made up of 30 filled and decorated buns.
