A TV insider said: "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. "It's also a fantastic gig for her because although she already has a fanbase over here, the cookery contest also introduces her to a wider British audience. "Plus she got plenty of experience of cooking in front of the cameras while she was on Celebrity Big brother, though this time she won't have hunky Chris to distract her." Jojo actually became famous for her dancing/baking Tiktoks on the social media site, though they're unlikely to help her much when she's doing it for real. The celebrity version of the Bake Off, whose participants have yet to be confirmed by C4, is being made just before filming of the "civilian" version. Jojo might end up wishing she was back in the house with Mickey Rorrke... The show kicks off this summer with Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond returning to host as well as Paul Hollywood coming back to give the celebs some serious scrutiny in the tent. Channel 4 star Prue Leith has stepped back from all GBBO specials, with cooking expert, and pal, Caroline Waldegrave filling her shoes. Last year, The Sun revealed how Prue had made the decision to step back from the Great British Bake Off specials and focus on the regular series. Channel 4 previously confirmed Prue's close friend Caroline would be taking over her role. Caroline, 72, is a former managing director of Leiths School of Food & Wine, which she bought from Prue in the mid-90s. Married to former Tory politician William Waldegrave, Lady Caroline has also co-written several successful cookery books.

Exercise slashes risk of death in patients with colon cancer
Exercise slashes the risk of death in patients with colon cancer by more than a third, a trial has found. Physical activity could also prevent the disease from coming back, as well as lifting mood, reducing fatigue and boosting strength, according to researchers. Colon cancer develops in the part of the large intestine known as the colon, part of the large bowel, which also comprises the rectum and anus. It can sometimes be referred to as bowel cancer or colorectal cancer. Cancer Research UK estimates about 31,800 people every year in the UK are diagnosed with the disease, with around 9,500 deaths. The CO21 Challenge trial, led by researchers in Northern Ireland and Canada, involved 889 people with colon cancer from six countries, including the UK. All patients had had surgery and chemotherapy for their cancer and were deemed well enough to exercise, but were not meeting recommended physical activity levels. Around half were given a three-year tailored exercise programme, which included the likes of brisk walking, circuit classes, cycling, or swimming. The plan included in-person coaching sessions for the first six months, as well as regular meetings with a physical activity consultant. The other group were offered materials that promoted exercise and nutrition. The study found that after five years, the risk of dying, relapse or developing a new cancer was 28% lower in the group with a tailored exercise plan. After eight years, patients in the physical activity group had a 37% lower risk of death. Professor Vicky Coyle, UK lead researcher for the trial and clinical professor at Queen's University Belfast, said: 'During the trial, we supported people to reach their weekly exercise target in a way that worked for them. 'This could be a brisk walk for around 40 minutes every day, but some patients were also doing circuit classes, cycling, swimming, and many other activities. 'Our study gives clear, encouraging evidence that physical activity can reduce the risk of cancer returning for some people with colon cancer. 'We now need to work with policymakers and healthcare providers to embed exercise into treatment plans where appropriate.' Dr Joe Henson, associate professor in lifestyle medicine at the University of Leicester, said: 'Leading the exercise sessions in Leicester, I saw first-hand that this reduced fatigue, lifted people's mood, and boosted their physical strength. 'We know that physical activity regulates several key biological processes that could explain these results, and further research will help us uncover why exercise is having such a positive impact.' The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), could 'transform clinical practice', according to experts. Caroline Geraghty, senior specialist information nurse at Cancer Research UK, which part-funded the CO21 Challenge through Stand Up To Cancer, said: 'Being active has many benefits, and this study shows that exercise doesn't only improve well-being – it can also boost people's chances of surviving colon cancer. 'Everyone recovering from cancer should have access to tailored support to help them live longer, better lives. 'This trial has the potential to transform clinical practice, but only if health services have the necessary funding and staff to make it a reality for patients. 'It's important to remember that every cancer journey is different – starting new activities after treatment can feel overwhelming, and it may not be the right option for everyone. Take things at your own pace and speak to your doctor to discuss what is safe for you.' Professor Peter Johnson, NHS national clinical director for cancer, said: 'These exciting findings add to the growing evidence of the benefits of physical activity for people affected by cancer, not just in helping them be fitter for treatment and boosting their immediate recovery, but reducing the risk of the disease coming back. 'This is why we've asked cancer alliances across the country to look at ways to encourage and support patients to do physical activity and ensure every healthcare professional they see can help them be in the best possible place – both physically and mentally – before, during and after treatment.'

Love Island hunk Chris Taylor signs up for huge reality show after Dancing On Ice and All Stars stints
The star had previously revealed plans to do more acting next move Love Island hunk Chris Taylor signs up for huge reality show after Dancing On Ice and All Stars stints Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star Chris Taylor has signed up for another reality show - and it's set to be his most challenging one yet. The 34-year-old will be taking part in the next series of Celebrity Hunted, which will see him try to evade capture from the hunters and beat off competition from other celebrities. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Chris Taylor will be appearing in Celebrity Hunted Credit: Rex 3 He was last seen on Dancing On Ice at the start of the year Credit: Rex An insider said: 'Chris has done his fair share of reality shows over the years but Celebrity Hunted might be the toughest one he has done yet. "It's no mean feat to stay off grid and avoid being captured, and it makes the stress of the Love Island villa recouplings look like a walk in the park. "Chris really wanted to do it as it's unlike anything he has done before and he's always up for a new challenge.' The last series of Celebrity Hunted was won by Christine McGuinness and Duncan James, raising money for Stand Up To Cancer. Chris competed in Dancing on Ice this year and became the fourth celebrity to be eliminated. The Leicester lad rose to fame in season five of the dating show and starred in the 2024 Love Island All Stars series. The former business development manager, who now works as an influencer, dated Maura Higgins in March 2021, but split six months later. As well as appearing on Love Island twice, Chris has also been on Celebs Go Dating. He did look set to turn his back on reality TV briefly when he landed a small part in the hit Barbie film. The star previously told Closer magazine about his plans for the future, saying: 'I want to do more acting and I have an acting coach and I am having lessons. 'I doubt I'd get the call, but if there's a Ken spin-off or a Barbie 2, I would well be up for it.'
