This marks Hammond’s first time co-hosting the Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off special. “I’m totally in awe of this year’s celebrity bakers, all putting their baking skills, or in some cases lack of, under nationwide scrutiny to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer,” Hammond said in a statement, according to Yahoo UK. “And as someone who proved to be something of a baking genius [sic] when I baked in the tent a few years ago, I was delighted to be able to show them the ropes and where the oven doors were.”
