Kate Garraway makes surprise move to Channel 4 for heartbreaking reason

GMB’s Kate Garraway has signed up for huge Channel 4 show which will take her on her biggest journey yet – with support from pal Alison Hammond.

Kate Garraway and Sarah Beeny are brilliant broadcasters at the top of their game, but ask them to bake a Battenberg or a brioche and they don’t know where to begin. Which is why entering The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer will be a bit of a challenge. “I’ve never really baked,” laughs Sarah, 53. “I think I’m a bit too impatient.”

 

Kate, 57, tells a similar story. “I’ve never really done it. I love cooking and always seem to know how to combine ingredients to make something delicious but that’s different because you can taste it as you go. Baking is a different ball game entirely.

“You take egg and flour and butter, that taste and look like one thing on their own, then put them together and they create something completely different. Baking is alchemy. So, I don’t think I’ve come out proving myself a Merlin, but I’m hoping not to be the Wicked Witch of the West.”

The celebs are all taking part in support of Stand Up To Cancer, a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK

and Channel 4. Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will be providing encouragement as the stars take on a signature bake, a technical bake and a showstopper.

 

Original judge Paul Hollywood is back, while Prue Leith’s long-standing friend and former colleague Caroline Waldegrave is standing in for Prue. And it doesn’t look like they are going to be very impressed with Sarah and Kate as not only does Sarah not bake, she also doesn’t even like cake.
