CYCLIST Victoria Pendleton will swap gold medals for golden crusts as she takes part in a special Bake Off series, along with actress Jane Horrocks and impressionist Alistair McGowan.

They are among 16 stars aiming to rise to the challenge, who also include Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner, Desert Island Discs host Kirsty Young and Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes.

BBC2's The Great Sport Relief Bake Off is to be screened later this month.
