A royal is set to appear on a new series of Celebrity Bake Off this festive season, it has been revealed. Sophie Winkleman, who became a member of the Royal Family when she married Lord Frederick Windsor – the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent – in 2009, is not just well-known for being a royal, but she is also an actress too.
As an actress, Sophie has been best-known for her role as Big Suze in Peep Show, which wrapped in 2015. However, much to the delight of fans of the show, the cast of the series are set to reunite soon.
This is because The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off, announced today, will feature many of the main cast with Sophie, David Mitchell, Olivia Colman, Isy Suttie, and Matt King all taking part.
The show will see them get in the festive spirit as they tackle seasonal baking challenges.
Their creations will be judged by Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, with Bake Off hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond also set to feature in the special episode, which is produced by Love Productions for Channel 4.
Announcing the news today, Channel Four wrote: “For the first time since Peep Show wrapped in 2015, fan favourites David Mitchell, Olivia Colman, Isy Suttie, Matt King and Sophie Winkleman reunite – and this time, they’re donning festive jumpers and rolling up their sleeves to tackle a series of seasonal baking challenges.
“Under the watchful eyes of judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, and with plenty of mischief and charm from Bake Off hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, expect laughter and chaos in this Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off special.”
The announcement continued: “The group will attempt to whisk, knead and decorate their way to glory with challenges paying homage to Peep Show. But will their culinary creations rise to the occasion, or will they collapse like a poorly-proofed loaf?”
The news has led to excitement among fans of the show, including royal fans.
One person wrote on X: “Is Big Suz the first Royal bake off contestant?”
Another said: “Big Suze for the win!”
