Huge pop star signs up for Celebrity Bake Off alongside Molly Mae and JoJo Siwa after being inspired by his son
RAG ‘N’ Bone Man has signed up to Celebrity Bake Off, The Sun can reveal.
The singer, 40 – real name Rory Graham – joins influencer Molly-Mae Hague, comedian Babatunde Aleshe and Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa in the famous tent later this year.
He previously said it was the only reality show that he would consider taking part in.
During an interview with Sky News, the Giant hitmaker revealed he discovered his love of baking in lockdown with his young son.
He said back in 2021: “My son enjoys cakes, like a lot of three-year-olds do.
“So we got into making all sorts of different kinds of cakes, I’ve kind of become quite good at baking, which is not necessarily a bad thing.”
Asked if Celebrity Bake Off could be on the cards, he said: “If they want me, I’ll be there.
“I don’t really like the idea of reality shows, but I reckon I’d give Bake Off a go. If Big Narstie can do, I can do it.”
A source told The Sun: “He’s really excited about getting in the tent – he can’t wait for his son to see him baking on TV!
“He’s watched the show – now he’s ready to impress the judges”.
