Mark Wright signs up for hugely popular show alongside JoJo Siwa and Molly-Mae

TV star Mark Wright has reportedly signed up for a hugely popular show alongside JoJo Siwa and Molly-Mae Hague. The new dad is taking on yet another challenge as he is said to be joining the cast of Celebrity Bake Off.

The 38-year-old is set to sign up alongside plenty of other famous faces as they appear on the popular Channel 4 show. Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa are just two of the other names that have been thrown into the mix.

It has been said Mark is due to brush up on his baking skills and this will be the first time he has appeared on TV since his daughter Palma Elizabeth was born. He became a dad for the first time alongside actress wife Michelle Keegan back in March.

It has been said that filming for the show has already taken place and is due to come to our screens next year. A source told The Sun: "Mark has had his hands full being a new dad but he found time to film for the new series of Celebrity Bake Off.

"It's a cause close to Mark's heart as it's all for the Stand Up Cancer charity and he is a big fan of the show. It won't air until next year so fans will have to wait a good few months to find out how he fares in the tent.'"

The last series of Celebrity Bake Off aired in March of this year but there are plenty of other well-known names set to tie up their aprons for the next series. Another celeb who is rumoured to be entering the famous tent is Babatunde Aleshe who was the latest star to have reportedly signed up last month.

The 38-year-old previously featured on I'm A Celeb in 2022 and has also appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox alongside pal Mo Gilligan. A TV insider said: "Babatunde is guaranteed to be hilarious and will no doubt have plenty of banter with Paul, Noel, Caroline and Alison.

"He's not known for his prowess in the kitchen so there's sure to be some panicky moments laced with the good humour he's known for. His energy on the Gogglebox sofa has always been pure positivity and very infectious, and bosses are hoping he'll bring that to the tent."

Mark and Michelle became parents for the film time in March of this year. Michelle gave birth to baby Palma, 10 years after the couple first tied the knot.

Michelle had Palma on March 6, announcing the news on Instagram around two weeks later. The actress shared an adorable black and white photo, showing her and Mark holding hands with their newborn daughter.

The caption read: "Together we have a new love to share... Our little girl," followed by a white heart emoji. The pair have since shared little glimpses of their little girl, as well as recently enjoying their first holiday as a family of three to Marbella.
