Netflix actress becomes latest star to 'join Celebrity Bake Off' line-up
Speculation is rife about the line-up for the upcoming series of The Great British Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer, with the latest name being linked to the show being a renowned actress.
The celebrity version of the popular baking competition, which typically airs every spring on Channel 4, invites four celebrities each week to join hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding in the tent, all vying for the coveted Star Baker title.
The previous series showcased the baking prowess of personalities such as Roman Kemp, Kate Garraway, Gloria Hunniford, Chris Ramsey and Scarlette Douglas.
Set to follow in their footsteps is Hollywood actress Ambika Mod, who is rumoured to have signed up for the next instalment of The Great British Celebrity Bake Off.
"Bosses were thrilled to sign Ambika up - she's a fan of the show so loved doing it," an insider revealed to The Sun.
Daily Record has reached out to Channel 4 for a response.
Ambika, aged 29, is a multi-talented actress, comedian and writer, best known for her roles in BBC's This Is Going to Hurt and Netflix series One Day, reports the Mirror.
She portrayed Emma Morley in One Day, an adaptation of David Nicholls' novel bearing the same title. The series was a hit among Netflix viewers, catapulting Ambika into overnight fame.
In 2025, the actress has featured in Black Bag, Disney+ thriller The Stolen Girl and action comedy Sacrifice.
Ambika is the latest celebrity rumoured to be joining the line-up for The Great British Celebrity Bake Off, alongside names such as JoJo Siwa and Molly-Mae Hague who have also been linked to the show.
Love Island's Molly is speculated to be expanding her talents into baking, while JoJo is reportedly set to add the show to her extensive list of TV appearances, following her participation in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.
Edith Bowman is also rumoured to be participating in the Channel 4 series, along with comedian Babatunde Aleshe.
Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond are the hosts for both the original and celebrity versions of Bake Off, with Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith typically serving as judges.
However, the 2025 series of Celebrity Bake Off saw a change in the judging panel, with Prue being replaced by her close friend Caroline Waldegrave.

Private investigator reveals the TV clue you need to look out for, which proves your partner is cheating on you
WHETHER it's a romantic comedy or a thriller, your online viewing habits might be telling more of a story than you realise. According to one private investigator, streaming services are becoming an unexpected tool in uncovering infidelity. 3 Joseph Barton, an investigator who specialises in catching cheating partners from says he has experienced how Netflix played a part in one man's cheating secret being revealed. The case Joseph investigated started with a woman noticing a string of romantic comedies appearing in the couple's shared Netflix watch history. She thought this was strange as her husband was supposedly working away at the time, and romcoms were never his thing. Joseph shared: 'She thought it was odd at first. 'It wasn't his usual genre, and the titles kept stacking up while he was meant to be in meetings or working away in hotels.' At first, she thought the account was malfunctioning and that it was a mistake, but as time went on, she noticed that more of these movies were appearing in their watch history. After this had gone on for a few weeks, the wife confronted him, but he dismissed it. He claimed the account had been hacked or that it was somehow mistaken and that he would never watch those types of movies. Eventually, her suspicion was strong enough that she called in the experts - who later tracked her husband and confirmed her suspicions. The private investigator shared: 'It was a textbook case of digital breadcrumbs. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron Resigns After Viral Affair Exposure 'Streaming websites like Netflix record what's been watched and on which profile. "That was enough to raise the alarm.' Joseph says it's not just Netflix. 3 DIGITAL FOOTPRINT Cheating partners are being caught out by everything from shared streaming accounts and smartwatch data to food delivery receipts and digital photo timestamps. He added: 'We've had people catch their partner out because Deliveroo showed an order to a flat they didn't know existed. 'Or because a smartwatch logged activity during a time they were supposedly asleep.' 3 WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR If you suspect something isn't right, Joseph recommends paying attention to any digital accounts you share, particularly ones with detailed activity logs. He explained: 'Netflix lets you see what's been watched and from which device. 'You can also check recent login activity to spot anything unusual.' But he also warns against jumping to conclusions too quickly. Joseph added: 'Sometimes it's innocent, maybe someone else used the profile, or it's a shared household. 'But when the activity doesn't match the story you're being told, it's worth looking closer.'

Bridgerton icon leads BAFTA-winning series as it returns with Peaky Blinders star
The popular series featuring one of Bridgerton's biggest stars is set to return for a second season. An award winning series featuring a Bridgerton icon and Peaky Blinders star is set to return to screens. Today Channel 4 has announced a brand-new story of the much loved drama anthology series I Am. The latest instalment of the BAFTA-winning female-led drama will be titled I Am Helen. I Am Helen will be led by Bridgerton and Derry Girl's star Nicola Coughlan, opposite Joe Cole, who is known for Gangs of London and Peaky Blinders. Nicola will follow the list of high profile names who have previously headlined the I Am series, including Kate Winslet in 2023. I Am Helen follows the standout success of three previous I Am series, authentically exploring the personal experiences of women through provocative, emotionally raw storytelling. Since its debut in 2019, the series has quickly become Channel 4's most successful new 10pm drama and is praised for its emotionally raw story telling and strong female lead. I Am Helen will air on Channel 4, though no official release date has been shared yet. Nicola Coughlan said: 'It's an absolute honour to be part of telling the next I Am… story alongside Dominic Savage — a singular talent and a storyteller deeply committed to exploring the breadth of the female experience. To follow in the footsteps of the brilliant women who've collaborated with him on this series feels truly surreal, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be embarking on this journey.' Since its first debut, the I Am anthology has become a hit with fans, as one person said: "Love the series! Very good acting and a refreshing, rare authentic representation of women on screen." Another added: "Honestly the best show for every woman to watch. Possibly the only true representation of women I have ever seen." Previous high profile names include Vicky McClure starring in I Am Nicola; Samantha Morton starring in the BAFTA nominated I Am Kirsty; and Gemma Chan starring in I Am Hannah. Series two was equally successful, starring Suranne Jones in the BAFTA nominated I Am Victoria, Letitia Wright in I Am Danielle and Lesley Manville in I Am Maria. The latest instalment of the critically acclaimed anthology series is created, written, produced and directed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Dominic Savage. Gemma Boswell, Commissioning Editor, Channel 4 Drama at Channel 4, added: 'We are delighted to welcome back Dominic Savage alongside the supremely talented Nicola Coughlan in I AM HELEN. "The I AM series is a powerful and timely portrait of our times, and we are thrilled to have the powerhouse combination of Dominic and Nicola to tell such a distinctive and impactful story.'
