A source told The Sun: “Rose did it a couple of years ago but is coming back for the next series, which has just been filmed.
“It won’t air until next year, but it’s really exciting.”
The source added: “It’s the first time a contestant has returned and the reason behind why she’s been able to come back will be explained onscreen.
“It’s a big surprise that producers want to keep secret.”
The Sun approached Channel 4 for comment.
Rose will once again join the special series which serves as a Stand Up 2 Cancer charity special.
The comedian starred alongside Friends legend, David Schwimmer in the 2023 series, as well as former Little Mix singer, Jesy Nelson and actor Tom Davis.
The American actor beat Rose to be named the top baker on the day, and even dissed her efforts leading to Rose labelling him as “rude.”
Rose is just one of many big names announced for the upcoming season of the cancer charity fundraiser, with Towie legend Mark Wright also joining the line-up.
Hollywood star Ambika Mod, who rose to prominence in This Is Going To Hurt, and shot to stardom in One Day, was the most recently announced star.
The Sun exclusively revealed that the hit Channel 4 show snapped Ambika up, and she will appear in the upcoming Celebrity Bake Off series.
“Bosses were thrilled to sign Ambika up – she’s a fan of the show so loved doing it,” a source told us.
Former Geordie Shore Vicky Pattison star has signed up to be judged by the likes of Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
