The Great British Bake Off 2018 may be coming to an end, but Channel 4 has a trick up its sleeve: an incredible celebrity line-up for next year's Stand Up To Cancer special.

Well, while there isn't a confirmed air date, the five-part series will air some time next year. This year's series aired in March, so we can expect a similar time for next year's show on Channel 4.

The 2018 series saw former Breakfast presenter Bill Turnbull feature as one of the celebrities. Just before his episode aired, he revealed to Radio Times that he had prostate cancer.

Twelve months after his diagnosis, he has written about his progress and his experience with chemotherapy. Read his column here.
