She will take over from Tom Allen
Last updated 24th Feb 2022
It was only last year she landed her very own TV show in the form of Sort Your Life Out, but it looks like we are going to be seeing a lot more of Loose Women star Stacey Solomon on our screens, as she's landing a new presenting role!
It has now been confirmed that mum-of-four Stacey will replace Tom Allen as host on Bake Off: The Professionals, The Great British Bake Off's popular spin-off show.
Taking to the show's Twitter page, bosses unveiled Stacey as the new presenter, sharing a photo alongside usual faces Liam Charles, Benoit Blin and Cherish Finden.
The message read: 'Choux la la! We're chuffed to announce that @StaceySolomon will be joining @LiamCBakes, @BenoitBlin_MCA and @Cherish_Finden for the next series of Bake Off: The Professionals. Welcome to the petit fours-ome, Stacey! #GBBO'. (sic)
Stacey, who likes to keep her Instagram followers up to date with her life, also shared the news on her own account, sharing a video of herself expressing her excitement.
She said: "I'm finally allowed to tell you the reason I've been away filming is because I'm presenting Bake Off: The Professionals this year. I honestly couldn't believe they even asked me. I was so nervous to follow in Tom's footsteps but he's been so kind and helpful and we've filmed a couple of episodes and everyone's been so so lovely."
Stacey then added: "I just eat cake all day. I'm so excited to finish filming and I can't wait for you to see it."
It seems fans are also over the moon at Stacey's new appointment, with many commenting their sheer excitement at the news.
One wrote: 'Oh yay, this is amazing! We can't wait for this! #GBBO', with another adding: 'She will be fab, can't wait'. (sic)
Check out which other TV shows we can't wait for the return of:
Originally called Bake Off: Crème de la Crème, the popular spin-off show first hit our TV screens back in 2016, when it previously aired on BBC One.
Just like the main Bake Off show, Bake Off: The Professionals moved over to Channel 4, where there was a change in format and personnel. The main concept of the show sees a number of professional pastry chefs from well-stablished restaurants and hotels competing in a cooking competition.
The last series of Bake Off: The Professionals aired back in May last year, with the 2022 series expected to land around the same time.
