Stacey Solomon has bagged herself a new role as the host of Bake Off: The Professionals.
The Loose Women panellist will join Liam Charles as the host for the new series, which sees teams of master bakers competing.
Stacey will replace comedian Tom Allen. The TV star had hosted the series with Liam since it made the move over to Channel 4 in 2018.
Meanwhile, Stacey has previously appeared on Great British Bake Off. She competed in the 2018 Stand Up To Cancer edition.
The show’s official Twitter account introduced her as the newest member of their team.

Bake Off viewers hit out at Channel 4 over Tom Allen axe
While it’s great news for Stacey, some fans of the Channel 4 series sadly weren’t quite so pleased.
One viewer replied: “Not sure this is a good replacement for Tom. Just have to wait and see.”
