When is the Great Celebrity Bake Off 2023 start date?

The Celebrity Bake Off 2023 start date is Sunday, March 19th.

The show will be hitting screens at 7.45pm on Channel 4, and will be available to watch on All 4 shortly afterwards, too.

We can expect the special to come in several parts, and each week a handful of the celebs will compete against each other to be crowned Star Baker of that episode.

This is the first year that the show is airing on a Sunday night instead of its usual Tuesday evening slot. We love a bit of cosy weekend viewing, ey?

Episode one will see comedian Rose Matafeo, Friends star David Schwimmer, Little Mix icon Jesy Nelson and actor Tom Davis enter the GBBO tent in a battle to win a Hollywood handshake and the Star Baker accolade.
