Siwa’s involvement has drawn a variety of responses from fans of the show. On Facebook someone questioned: “I thought this was only for British?” Another commenter put: “Thank you gives me an excuse not to watch it,” while another added: “Love this girl!”
On Instagram, someone also cried: “NO. NO. YOU CANT RUIN GBB WITH JOJO SIWA THERE’S NO WAY.” A fan of the Dance Moms star wrote: “Love the fact we have JoJo,” which someone echoed, writing: “Whoever booked JoJo Siwa is a legend.”
Each episode will see several celebrities take on the Signature, Technical and Showstopper challenges to be crowned Star Baker. Paul Hollywood will be joined by Bake Off: The Professionals judge, Cherish Finden, as well as Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding.
UK audiences probably mostly became familiar with Siwa after she appeared on 2025’s Celebrity Big Brother. There she met her now boyfriend, Chris Hughes, with the two officially confirming their relationship some time after the show finished.
Late last year, the pair sparked rumours they were engaged. This followed them both discussing the idea of having children and the prospect of a marriage.
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer will air on Channel 4 this Spring.
