Competing are Gareth Malone, , Ruby Wax, and Yung Filly.

They’ll follow in the footsteps of Alex Horne, Emma Willis, and Blake Harrison, who caused utter chaos in the tent last week.

As for who will be crowned the champion…only time will tell!

Yung Filly – real name Andres Felipé Barriento – made his name as a YouTuber, comedian and presenter, often featuring in videos alongside fellow internet stars Chunkz and Harry Pinero.

He’s got a following of more than a million on YouTube after starting his channel in 2013, and has teamed up with brands like FootAsylum and Sky Sports.

Filly and his pals are also known for hosting the Footasylum dating series Does The Show Fit? alongside a rotating cast of Jack Fowler, KSI, Jordan Hames and more.

Fans might also know him from his efforts at Soccer Aid in 2020, with the star playing on the England team.

He’s 26 and has previously claimed that he’s six foot two. However, fans aren’t too convinced on that front and other reports have said he’s actually five foot eight.

What other shows has he been on?

Filly has hosted BBC3’s Hot Property, a show that sees singletons snoop around the homes of potential partners, since 2019.

Recent episodes of the show have featured stars like The Apprentice’s Ryan-Mark Parsons, Drag Race star Ellie Diamond, and Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry.

He’s also hosted the game show Yung Filly’s Celeb Lock-In on BBC3, and has appeared on Sky’s Dating No Filter.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off for SU2C continues tonight at 8pm on Channel 4.
