Huge chart-topping singer 'becomes latest star to sign up for Celebrity Great British Bake Off' alongside Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa
One of the UK's biggest singers has reportedly joined the next series of Celebrity Bake Off. Rag 'N' Bone man, 40, who rose to fame with hits like Human and Giant, is set to swap the mic for a mixing bowl when filming kicks off later this year for the upcoming Stand Up To Cancer special. A source told The Sun: 'He's really excited about getting in the tent - he can't wait for his son to see him baking on TV! 'He's watched the show - now he's ready to impress the judges'. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Rag 'N' Bone Man for comment. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Rag 'N' Bone man, who rose to fame with hits like Human and Giant, is set to swap the mic for a mixing bowl when filming kicks off later this year for the upcoming Stand Up To Cancer special The hitmaker whose real name is Rory Graham, previously revealed that Bake Off was the only reality show he would sign up for, after admitting he was actually a dab hand in the kitchen. During lockdown, the BRIT Award winner found himself falling in love with baking while spending time with his young son. Back in 2021, he shared with Sky News: 'My son enjoys cakes, like a lot of three-year-olds do. 'So we got into making all sorts of different kinds of cakes, I've kind of become quite good at baking, which is not necessarily a bad thing.' And when quizzed about taking part in Bake Off, he said he was a fan of the show and despite not liking the thought of appearing on reality shows, would make the exception. He said: 'If they want me, I'll be there. 'I don't really like the idea of reality shows, but I reckon I'd give Bake Off a go. If Big Narstie can do, I can do it.' The news comes just days after it was claimed that fashion influencer Molly-Mae Hague, comedian Babatúndé Aléshé and Dance Moms alum JoJo Siwa are also set for the iconic Bake Off tent. Molly-Mae, is set to make her come back to reality TV on the Channel 4 show for the first time since Love Island. The influencer, 26, has been placed firmly in the spotlight since her break-up last year with Tommy Fury, which was chronicled in her Prime Video documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind it All. A source told The Sun earlier this week: 'She will be a great addition to the line-up and bring a healthy helping of Love island glamour to the tent. 'Molly's now one of Britain's biggest TV stars and has seen her fame steadily grow since she first appeared on the ITV dating show back in 2019.' While JoJo is also said to be going on the show after taking Celebrity Big Brother by storm earlier this year. The Dance Moms star, 22, is said to have been scooped up by Channel 4 to film the celebrity spin-off in the midst of her huge surge in popularity in the UK. A source told The Sun: 'This is a bit of a coup for the Bake Off because Jojo is currently one of the most talked about young stars on TV right now. 'She's barely had time to catch her breath, leaving CBB last month amid huge media attention and heading straight into another huge show this month.' They added that it's a 'fantastic gig for her' because although she already has a fanbase over here, the baking show will also introduce her to a wider British audience. Comedian Babatunde Aleshe is also said to be on the star-studded line-up, after his stint on I'm A Celeb in 2022. A TV insider told The Sun: 'Babatunde is guaranteed to be hilarious and will no doubt have plenty of banter with Paul, Noel, Caroline and Alison. 'He's not known for his prowess in the kitchen so there's sure to be some panicky moments laced with the good humour he's known for. 'His energy on the Gogglebox sofa has always been pure positivity and very infectious, and bosses are hoping he'll bring that to the tent.' The celebrity special of the beloved Channel 4 baking show is set to take place later this year, with hosts noel Fielding and Alison Hammond returning, alongside judge Paul Hollywood.

Alison Hammond, 50, leaves fans in hysterics as she shows off her 'baby bump' while playfully hitting back at pregnancy rumours with toyboy boyfriend David Putman, 27
left fans in hysterics as she showed off her pretend baby bump following rumours she and toyboy boyfriend David Putman were expecting. The This Morning host, 50, took to her Instagram and joked her '50 year old womb couldn't take it' before dancing wildly as she recreated Meghan Markle 's now viral video where she twerked in an attempt to induce daughter Lilibet's birth in 2021. Alison, who went public with the 27-year-old Russian masseur and model in April last year, sported a huge fake belly under her figure hugging dress as she showcased her moves while dancing to Starrkeisha's viral song Baby Mama. The broadcaster, who is already mum to son Aidan, 20, whom she shares with ex-husband Noureddine Boufaied, captioned the post: 'Lots of AI stories online about me being pregnant,' 'I can confirm I am not having a baby as I'm not sure my 50 year old womb could take it . However I do think we should all dance like Meghan!!'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Fans and famous friends alike rushed to the comments to praise Alison for her hysterical video. They gushed: 'Just another reason to love Alison': 'I love this so much! And double yes to Meghan!':'Such a Queen':'YOU ARE AMAZING ALISON X'. Earlier this week the Duchess of Sussex shared the throwback clip on her Instagram to mark her daughter's fourth birthday and said 'there was only one thing left to do' when the princess was a week past her due date. In it, Prince Harry is seen came into view of the camera while a heavily pregnant Meghan started twerking in front of a hospital bed before she gyrates around the room. 'Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!,' Meghan wrote on her Instagram. While a baby may not be on the cards Alison has admitted she is open to marriage as she gushed over her 'supportive' toyboy boyfriend. Despite their age gap, Alison has shared that he is very supportive of her and her TV career, she told Heat magazine: 'He loves it. He just supports me. Anybody who I bring into my life supports me and whatever I do. They're so happy for me. 'I don't like to go into detail about him, because it's my private life, and I want to respect his life as well. But you know I'm loved-up, everyone knows that!' The broadcaster, who is already mum to son Aidan, 20, whom she shares with ex-husband Noureddine Boufaied, captioned the post: 'Lots of AI stories online about me being pregnant,' Fans and famous friends alike rushed to the comments to praise Alison for her hysterical video When asked about whether she would like to get married, the 'This Morning' star didn't rule it out. She said: 'I'd never say no. I might marry myself...' Last month Alison and David squashed split rumours after they sparked speculation she secretly parted ways. The couple looked more loved up than ever in pictures obtained by The Mirror. Alison and David shared a steamy kiss while out shopping. Alison also opened up in Good Housekeeping UK's January issue, admitting her and David 'fit like a jigsaw' as she revealed their traits balance each other out. Speaking about their age gap, Alison said: 'I can see how, on paper, you'd notice the age difference. But honestly, when we see the word "toyboy" written about us, it bears no relation to what we have at all. 'Yes, I'm 22 years older than he is, but if you saw us together, you'd understand. People have said to me: "We get it now." He's so mature and sensible, and I'm so not. She added: 'And the things he says to just so lovely. It's like a jigsaw; we fit and it all comes together.' During the interview, Alison also spoke about her loving relationship with her son Aidan - who she recently gave an emotional apology to for 'not always being there '. 'If you could feel the way my son loves me, it's magical,' she said. 'He's grown into such a gentleman. He helps me so much, doing things around the house. 'He gives really good advice and because he's Gen Z, he has his finger on the pulse and tells me what's cool. 'He's the yin to my yang; he's like me, but a calmer version. I'm all, 'Woo-hoo' and he's more, "Mum, chill." He doesn't try to rein me in, though.' She joked: 'He wouldn't try to change me because, well, why mess with perfection?'
