British Baker is thrilled to reveal that the celebrity host for the Baking Industry Awards 2026 is primetime television star and comedian Joel Dommett.
Joel burst onto the comedy scene and quickly established himself as one of the most exciting comedians in the UK. He has become a regular face on TV, from being a finalist in I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, to fronting the smash-hit ITV show The Masked Singer and competing on series 21 of Taskmaster.
Joel boasts a constantly increasing array of TV credits, he has featured on Drunk History and co-starred in the hugely successful Impractical Jokers. He has also guested on Britain’s Got More Talent, Live at The Apollo, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Russell Howard’s Good News, Celebrity Juice, A League of Their Own, and Love Island: Aftersun.
Joel’s memorable performance on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here gained him thousands of new fans, so many that he went on to finish second. After his successful time in the jungle, Joel hosted the spin off show I’m A Celebrity… Extra Camp alongside Scarlett Moffat.
Joel will help announce the winners at the 39th edition of the Baking Industry Awards which takes place on Wednesday 25th November at the London Hilton on Park Lane. The celebratory extravaganza will include a drinks reception, three-course dinner with wine, and awards ceremony.
