Celebrity Bake Off 'signs up iconic British girlband star as she joins A-list line-up'
Celebrity Bake Off is heating up – and an iconic British girlband star is reportedly set to join a slew of A-listers in the tent. The next series, set to air in 2026, will see Sugababes star Mutya Buena, 40, take part in the Channel 4 show to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer, according to The Sun. A TV insider told the publication: 'Mutya will be seeing if she can get a handshake from Paul Hollywood when she goes into the tent. 'She doesn't consider herself much of a baker, but it's for charity and there are bound to be some.' MailOnline has contacted Channel 4 and Mutya's representative for comment. Mutya will be hoping to find her footing in the kitchen after her Celebrity MasterChef appearance last year, where she struggled with a cheesecake challenge. She famously created a buttery biscuit base that was so thick you could have used it to wedge open a door. Despite crashing out of the competition, the singer said she was proud of her progress. She said: 'I wanted to do Celebrity MasterChef because I enjoy cooking in general and I love cooking for my family and friends. 'I wanted to learn some new things in the kitchen, some new tricks that I could bring home.' The upcoming Stand Up To Cancer special is already shaping up to be a star-studded affair. Hollywood actress Ambika Mod, 29, who rose to fame in This Is Going To Hurt and more recently starred in One Day, will also reportedly be stepping into the tent alongside Geordie Shore favourite Vicky Pattison, 37. Also joining the line-up are comedian Babatunde Aleshe, 38, Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, 26, and former Celebrity Big Brother contestant JoJo Siwa, 22. They'll be joined by RAG 'N' Bone Man, 40, broadcaster Edith Bowman, 51, and 8 Out of 10 Cats regular Jon Richardson, 42 – all ready to be judged by Cherish Finden and Paul Hollywood in the iconic Bake Off tent. The news of Mutya's appearance comes after Prue Leith, 85, announced she was stepping away from all Great British Bake Off specials earlier this year (L-R Paul, Prue, Noel, and Alison pictured last year) The news of Mutya's appearance comes after Prue Leith, 85, announced earlier this year that she would be stepping away from all Great British Bake Off specials.

Paul Hollywood's ex-girlfriend Summer Monteys-Fullam shows off her toned figure in a bright orange bikini as she jets off to Greece
Paul Hollywood 's ex-girlfriend Summer Monteys-Fullam showed off her toned figure in a bright orange bikini. The aesthetics business owner, 30, started dating the Great British Bake Off star, 57, in 2017 around the time of his split from his ex-wife. But taking to Instagram on Monday, Summer showed off her incredible figure as she posed for snaps by the pool. The red-headed beauty sat lounging by a clear-blue pool after the sun had gone down while on the island of Kos. She displayed her chiselled abs in a baby pink sequined busty bikini, complete with a triangle top featuring straps and a skimpy pair of bottoms. 'Holiday pics for the foreseeable,' she captioned the snaps. Summer dated Paul after his 20-year marriage to wife Alex ended in 2017 and was seeing him until August 2019. However, Alex later claimed Paul's relationship with Summer started before their split - something which Summer has always vehemently denied. One of the triggers to end Summer's romance with Paul was his alleged 'controlling behaviour' - and the former barmaid explained in 2022 how she longs for someone who is more in line with her values. 'I want someone that's driven, that's confident, that's loyal. That's a huge thing for me, loyal and honest and not controlling,' she said. Summer has no qualms about calling an unfaithful partner out on their behaviour, having unfortunately encountered an influx of them. She said: 'I definitely hand him his receipts and I would also tell the girl as well. 'If you're confident enough to go out and be "single" when you're not single, then face the consequences for sure.' Paul's ex-wife Alex hit out at him in 2021, claiming their marriage was 'over seasoned with extra marital affairs'. She displayed her chiselled abs in a baby pink sequined busty bikini, complete with a triangle top featuring straps and a skimpy pair of bottoms The television show judge previously admitted to cheating on Alex with chef Marcela Valladolid, 43, in 2013. And Alex, who shares a teenage son with Paul, insisted she is finally happy being single but said some people struggle to believe that's true. She wrote on Instagram: 'It's taken me a while to get here and it hasn't been easy, but I love the woman I am now. 'I know only too well that not every marriage/partnership is a recipe for happiness and success. 'My own marriage was too over seasoned with extra marital affairs for my taste and so I opted out and chose the single menu instead. It wasn't easy and it took some getting used to. 'I wasn't even sure I liked it much at first, but as I regained my confidence, my freedom and myself after so long, I discovered that it really isn't a cliché to say happiness really does comes from within.' However, Alex later claimed Paul's relationship with Summer started before their split - something which Summer has always vehemently denied (Paul and Alex seen in 2015) She added: 'I still get the occasional well-meaning comment — that I'll get "snapped up soon" rather like a supermarket meal deal. 'People don't like to believe that a woman can be happier single.' MailOnline contacted a representative for Paul for comment at the time. Alex They got back together but finally went their separate ways in 2017, with Alex citing infidelity as the reason for the split.

They love it." Will Bowman be able to get the coveted star baker prize? Comedian Babatunde Aleshe is also tipped to star on Celebrity Bake Off.
