Lady Caroline Waldegrave Joins 'Celebrity Bake Off' as New Judge

Replacing Dame Prue Leith, Lady Waldegrave brings decades of culinary expertise and a warm personality to the charity baking series.

Lady Caroline Waldegrave, a longtime friend of Dame Prue Leith and co-founder of Leiths School of Food and Wine, will replace Leith as a judge on 'The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer.'
Waldegrave expressed initial nerves about stepping into the role but described the production team and co-hosts Paul Hollywood, Alison Hammond, and Noel Fielding as welcoming and supportive.
She requested not to be referred to by her aristocratic title, preferring to be addressed simply as Caroline.
Paul Hollywood praised her culinary knowledge and likened her presence to a 'trump card,' while Alison Hammond called her a 'breath of fresh air' and a natural fit for the team.
The new season of 'The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer' premieres on Sunday, March 16, 2025, featuring a lineup of celebrities including Kate Garraway, Meera Syal, and Roman Kemp.
