Hammond, who participated in the celebrity version of “Bake Off” in 2020, will join Noel Fielding as co-host on the next season of the iconic baking show.

Lucas announced his departure as co-host in December, citing problems juggling various projects alongside “Bake Off.”

Hammond is best known in the U.K. as the presenter of ITV’s “This Morning.” She also recently co-hosted the BAFTA Film Awards with Richard E. Grant.

More to come.
