Beginning on February 11, the series takes place over four weeks and sees the 16 celebrities baking for judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.
Berry said it had been "great fun" filming the series.
"Although there were some baking catastrophes, some surprising hidden skills were revealed," she added
"One thing for certain is that anyone can have a go at baking and it's a great way to raise money for Comic Relief - and you are guaranteed to have a lot of fun!"

Regular presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc will return, alongside Jo Brand and Ed Byrne. Recently appearing on Jonathan Ross' ITV chat show, Perkins said she had initially turned down the chance to work on the show because "it sounded ludicrous."
The Great British Bake Off recently won a National Television Award for "best skills-based reality series". It spawned a US spin-off show.
