Here's Next Year's Celebrity Great British Bake Off Lineup

One of our TV highlights of 2015 was the celebrity edition of GBBO, The Great Comic Relief Bake Off, if only because it was joyous to watch the likes of Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders duke it out over ovens and buns.

The good news is that the series is making a return early in 2016 and it's even more jam-packed (pun unapologetically intended) with celebs than before.

Hosting duties will once again be held by Mel for an episode, while Jennifer Saunders, Sarah Millican and Ed Byrne host the other three in the four-part series.

The series will air early next year before Sports Relief in March.

If anyone can top Dame Edna, we'll be impressed.

Never forget.
