For Bake Off Christmas special... but someone's missing!
The cast of Peep Show are reuniting for a Christmas Bake Off special.
David Mitchell, Olivia Colman, Isy Suttie, Matt King and Sophie Winkleman are taking part in the special – but Robert Webb is absent.
It is the first time they have reunited on screen since filming on the hit comedy wrapped in 2015.
Judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood will pass judgment on a series of seasonal baking challenges with Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond returning as hosts.
Channel 4 said: ‘Expect laughter and chaos [as] 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?’
And as Lady Frederick Windsor, Big Suze actress Winkleman becomes the first member of the Royal Family to compete on the show.
No broadcast date has yet been set for the special, which is made by Bake Off's usual team at Love Productions.
