Mark Wright signs up for hugely popular show alongside JoJo Siwa and Molly-Mae

Daily Mirror12-07-2025
Mark Wright, JoJo Siwa and Molly-Mae join a whole host of celebrities have signed up for the latest series of Celebrity Bake Off which is due to air next year
TV star Mark Wright has reportedly signed up for a hugely popular show alongside JoJo Siwa and Molly-Mae Hague. The new dad is taking on yet another challenge as he is said to be joining the cast of Celebrity Bake Off.
The 38-year-old is set to sign up alongside plenty of other famous faces as they appear on the popular Channel 4 show. Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa are just two of the other names that have been thrown into the mix.

It has been said Mark is due to brush up on his baking skills and this will be the first time he has appeared on TV since his daughter Palma Elizabeth was born. He became a dad for the first time alongside actress wife Michelle Keegan back in March.

It has been said that filming for the show has already taken place and is due to come to our screens next year. A source told The Sun: "Mark has had his hands full being a new dad but he found time to film for the new series of Celebrity Bake Off.

"It's a cause close to Mark's heart as it's all for the Stand Up Cancer charity and he is a big fan of the show. It won't air until next year so fans will have to wait a good few months to find out how he fares in the tent.'"
The last series of Celebrity Bake Off aired in March of this year but there are plenty of other well-known names set to tie up their aprons for the next series. Another celeb who is rumoured to be entering the famous tent is Babatunde Aleshe who was the latest star to have reportedly signed up last month.

The 38-year-old previously featured on I'm A Celeb in 2022 and has also appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox alongside pal Mo Gilligan. A TV insider said: "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."
Mark and Michelle became parents for the film time in March of this year. Michelle gave birth to baby Palma, 10 years after the couple first tied the knot.
Michelle had Palma on March 6, announcing the news on Instagram around two weeks later. The actress shared an adorable black and white photo, showing her and Mark holding hands with their newborn daughter.
The caption read: "Together we have a new love to share... Our little girl," followed by a white heart emoji. The pair have since shared little glimpses of their little girl, as well as recently enjoying their first holiday as a family of three to Marbella.

'Influencer' who garnered more than 165,000 followers while 'enjoying Wimbledon' is revealed as an AI creation

She has 165,000 followers on Instagram and recently posted images showing her enjoying the tennis at Wimbledon. But the 'model' whose social media persona became an internet sensation at the championships was actually created by AI. The posts on Mia Zelu's Instagram page were so carefully curated that they hoodwinked more than 40,000 people into liking her pictures and leaving comments in the belief that she was real and at the tournament. With images of her on Centre Court or enjoying a Pimm's, even Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant was taken in. The 27-year-old was at Wimbledon but discovered the account he had liked was a fake one and quickly deleted all of his interactions with it. The online comments by Zelu, who embodied the quintessential Wimbledon look of summery dresses and golden tan, reflect the language used by actual Instagram influencers. In one she asks her followers: 'Which Wimbledon match was your fave?' Despite not actually being at the tournament, Zelu also remarked: 'Still not over the event... but the party's a whole other game.' Her creators, who remain anonymous, explain in a profile that she is an 'AI storyteller', adding she has a sister called 'Ana' with 266,000 followers on her account. Despite the clear indication that the account is not that of a real person, Zelu's followers still send her messages – including proposals of marriage.

MasterChef star Julie Goodwin (pictured) shared some exciting family news with her fans on Sunday Julie's exciting announcement comes just days after she issued a statement defending her weight loss after fans raised concerns about her health. Julie shared an update on Instagram after a new photo, in which she looked very slim, was posted to her account. Her dramatic transformation led to comments from worried followers. 'Thanks to all who have expressed concern about my health. I am well and I am within the healthy weight range. My doctor concurs,' she wrote. 'For those who have asked me for advice or tips, I am not qualified to provide this. It's advice that should be sought from your trusted health professionals, not from me. I'm a TV cook,' Julie continued. 'For those who want to comment on the shape and condition of my body please, do it on your own page because I'm tired of reading it. For that reason I'll be turning off comments on this post. 'For all of us can we please find something more interesting to talk about. Can we please model kindness to our kids and grandkids and can we please leave this obsession with people's looks back in the 1980s. Peace and love.' Julie was prompted to speak out after a selfie shared this week led to comments inquiring about whether she is 'sick'. 'I'm actually concerned... to be honest, but if you are healthy and well there is nothing to worry about,' one fan commented. 'Oh Julie…. too much weight loss,' another chimed in, while one more said, 'She is sick. She looks shocking.' 'Julie you are awesome, but are you okay?' someone else asked, with one more posting, 'Are you okay Julie? You don't look okay. Hope there's nothing wrong.' 'She looks like a skeleton,' one more person wrote, with yet another saying, 'OMG you look so ill.' Others defended Julie, with one person writing, 'Love how people speculate she is on the jabs. My bet is she is looking after herself and eating the right foods.' 'OMG Julie you look amazing! You have a beautiful smile. Keep shining!' another said. One more chimed in: 'Can everyone stop commenting on Julie's weight and telling her she's too thin? All you're doing is projecting on her what YOU think she should look like. If she had always looked like this, no-one would say anything. 'Just be happy for her that she's happy, her doctor's happy, and she's healthy!' Julie recently revealed she had lost more weight following her dramatic 'accidental' transformation, which saw her drop a whopping 20kg almost a decade ago.

The Sun revealed last week a 37-second recording, where she plots to couple with popular Tommy Bradley as a surefire way to make the final.

The pair joined Maya Jama on Love Island Aftersun tonight to address the infamous voicenote that has gone viral on social media. Lucy explained: "So obviously, like, we've probably all done it... sent voicenotes to friends and obviously I really did trust that friend and with the Tommy situation, I was obviously saying he's a very nice boy and that's why I wanted to get to know him. "I did say till the end, but it weren't the final, I meant the end... I would like to be with him in the future. "Someone with really good morals and also before going on the show, my dad did say to me he's the kind of boy he'd like me to bring home because he's very respectful." The Liverpudlian then apologised for her "rude" comments about Megan after she branded her a "f**king little slapper". Lucy continued: "Obviously to talk about Megan as well, I should never have commented on someone I'd never met before, so I do really apologise about that because I'm not that type of girl and it was very rude of me to do that as well." Tommy then tried to defend Lucy following the backlash she's since received. He told Maya: "You said as well, at the time, we're all just characters on the screen to her. "I know you were very excited to be going on one of the biggest reality show's in the country... emotions were high and you were speaking to one of your close friends.

Maya insisted: "That's definitely not a good friend, I hope you blocked her after that." Lucy admitted she's no longer pals with the person who leaked it. The voice note, which was revealed last Friday, said: "I've got a phone call today by the way, saying they want to fly me out on Tuesday or Monday. "So they said to me on Sunday they'll let me know for 100 percent, but looks like I'm f**king going on one of those days. So they were like, get your stuff packed basically. "I was like, I'm already packed love. They asked me for my top three boys. "I said, Tommy, I want Tommy. I feel like if I'm with Tommy I feel like I'll get all the way to the end. "Because everyone loves him. I don't know if you've been watching it but that Megan's being sent home and I'm f**king made up. "And she's being sent home because of the way she's treated Tommy. "And do you know what, I'm made up that I've been watching it because I know how to act. "Because she's being a f**king little slapper in there. "The public have voted her out. So I just need to be left a nice girl and just f**king stick with Tommy." Irish beauty Megan Forte Clarke was axed after her love triangle with Conor Phillips and Tommy led her to be voted one of the three least popular girls by the public. The contestants then chose to evict her, along with Remell Mullins as the least popular boy. After Casa Amor, Lucy walked into the main villa holding hands with smitten Tommy, who dumped Emily Moran to be with her. Emily was left shell-shocked having stayed loyal to Tommy and given a heartfelt speech in which she said she couldn't wait to see him. Tommy told the gathered Islanders how he had a better connection with Lucy; the pair had spent the past few days glued together sharing lots of kisses. Sheepish Lucy admitted it was difficult entering the villa in such a "s****y situation". When host Maya Jama told the group that Emily was dumped from the Island.
