Chris And Rosie Ramsey Bring Fun And Drama To Celebrity Bake Off

The Great Celebrity Bake Off made its anticipated return to TV screens on Sunday, March 16, 2025, featuring popular podcast duo Chris and Rosie Ramsey alongside siblings Scarlette and Stuart Douglas. Known for their humor and relatable banter, the Ramsey couple, who host the hit podcast "Sh**ed. Married. Annoyed," brought their vibrant personalities to the beloved baking competition.

Theirs is a household filled with charm and creativity, reflecting the warmth of their £1.5 million home, where they have created countless family memories. The couple has closely documented their renovation efforts since moving to this stunning property nearly four years ago. Built back in 1876, the house is steeped in history and boasts notable features such as six bedrooms, high ceilings, and period fireplaces.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off, airing on Channel 4, is known for its light-hearted competition. Still, this season quickly escalated with surprising tension among contestants, particularly during the episode featuring the Ramsey's. Host Alison Hammond noted the heated atmosphere, stating, "It wasn't necessarily nice banter. It was arguments. I've never seen this before." There were moments of playful sabotage, which Judge Paul Hollywood remarked upon too, humorously observing, "They were arguing with each other because they wanted to win. I was like, 'Here we go. We're reffing this, not judging it!'"

For Chris Ramsey, the competition was taken seriously. He lightheartedly declared, "We are all baking head-to-head. No helping out. No mercy! If one of us wins, we will mention it daily to the other for possibly a decade or two." This competitive spirit is part of what makes their participation so entertaining.

Back at their home, decorated for each season and furnished with both modern and historical touches, Chris and Rosie have carefully curated their space. Rosie recently shared Instagram posts showcasing their majestic Christmas tree and beautifully arranged spaces. Their living room, now enhanced with deep navy walls and fresh styling, contrasts beautifully with the original features of the house, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere for their children, Robin (nine) and Rafe (four).

Rosie enthused about the significance of their new home when they first bought it, citing her long-held desire to move. "Terrible timing, but our dream house came up, and we couldn't resist. I've wanted to move for years, and we thought, if we don't do it now, when will we?" This sentiment captures the couple's adventurous spirit and commitment to family life.

Meanwhile, the celebrity cooking show included not only baking but also heavy emotions as fans noticed the absence of beloved judge Prue Leith, who has long been associated with The Great British Bake Off. This season, Prue stepped back from the celebrity series to focus on the main competition. Her replacement, Caroline Waldegrave, has substantial credentials, having owned Leith’s School of Food & Wine and co-authoring cookery books with Prue.

A spokesperson from Love Productions confirmed the change, ensuring fans understood why Prue wouldn't be judging during the celebrity episodes. While her departure drew disappointment from avid fans on social media, many were equally excited to see Caroline bring her expertise to the role. "Caroline is perfect! The kindest and most knowledgeable teacher, the bakers will love her," Prue shared, giving her blessing.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off aims to raise money for Stand Up to Cancer, and this season will run until April 13, 2025. The intertwining of competitive spirit and charitable cause adds to the excitement, engaging both contestants and viewers as they tune in weekly.

Chris and Rosie’s presence marked the start of another successful season, blending entertainment with heartfelt moments. Fans can expect both humor and heartfelt sentiments as the series progresses, enhanced by glimpses of life from their beautiful home.

With the perfect combination of lively banter, competition, and the realities of family life—complete with arguments over who bakes best—the Great Celebrity Bake Off continues to entertain, all from the comfort of their picturesque home.
