Noel Fielding (Presenter)
Born: May 21, 1973 in London
Best Known For: The Mighty Boosh.
Early-life: Born May 21, 1973, in Westminster to 18-year-old parents who, despite the fact he was shy and introverted as a child, encouraged him in his desire to be an entertainer. He has revealed that they 'had a lot of parties' but has not spoken much about his youth, except to say that although he wasn't keen on their lifestyle at the time, he now admits they inspired his unusual fashion sense. He was educated at Croydon Art College and Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College (now Buckinghamshire New University) before embarking on a stand-up career.
Career: Fielding performed regularly as a stand-up comedian during the late 1990s, and appeared repeatedly on the TV stand-up showcase Lee Mack's Gas. He formed a short-lived but well-received comedy partnership with Russell Brand. His highly animated stand-up routine included surreal stories, physical comedy, characters, and songs, much like his later work alongside Julian Barratt in The Mighty Boosh, which became a monster hit when it moved to TV in 2004. He remains an active stand-up, has his own Channel 4 show (Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy) and is a popular team captain on never Mind the Buzzcocks. He's also still a keen artist and has shown his work in a number of exhibitions.
Quote: 'When I'm 70 I might be a man in a park just wandering around, speaking in tongues with kids throwing bread at me.'
Trivia: His brother, Michael, played Naboo in The Mighty Boosh; both his parents also appeared briefly in the show, and all three have featured in Luxury Comedy.
Alison Hammond (Presenter)
Born: February 05, 1975 in Birmingham
Best Known For: Being a presenter on This Morning.
Early-life: Alison was born in Birmingham on February 5, 1975. Her first claim to fame was a short appearance as a contestant on Big Brother in 2002 - she was the second housemate to be evicted.
Career: Since leaving the Big Brother house, Hammond has carved out a career as a TV presenter, notably on This Morning. She has also managed to fit in appearances on a number of other reality shows, including Celebrity Fit Club, Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes, Celebrity Ready Steady Cook, Celebrity MasterChef and I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! In 2014, she was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing. Hammond had an acting role in two episodes of children's drama series The Dumping Ground in 2016. She also participated in the TV shows Sugar Free Farm and Let's Sing and Dance.
Quote: On working on This Morning: 'I love the fact that no two days are the same.'
Trivia: Hammond is the voice of one of the bingo callers on the Crown Bingo website.
Paul Hollywood (Judge)
Born: March 01, 1966 in Wallasey, Merseyside
Best Known For: The Great British Bake Off.
Early-life: Paul John Hollywood was born in Wallasey, Merseyside, on March 1, 1966. He studied sculpture at the Wallasey School of Art before quitting to work at his father's bakery.
Career: Hollywood went on to become head baker at a number of hotels, including The Dorchester, Chester Grosvenor and Spa and the Clivedon Hotel. He began making a number of guest appearances on TV shows such as The Generation Game, This Morning, and The Alan Titchmarsh Show. His big break came in 2010 when he started working alongside fellow judge Mary Berry on popular BBC Two baking show The Great British Bake Off. In May 2013, he began appearing on US TV as a judge on The American Baking Competition.
Quote: 'The real Paul Hollywood is shy, likes nothing better than going home, putting on slippers and dressing gown, having a cup of tea and watching telly.'
Trivia: Hollywood has written a number of books on baking, including 100 Great Breads, How to Bake, and American Baking Competition.

Rose Matafeo (Contestant)
Judi Love (Contestant)
Tom Davis (Contestant)
Jon Richardson (Contestant)
Born: September 26, 1982 in Lancaster
Best Known For: 8 Out of 10 Cats.
Early-life: Jon Joel Richardson was born on September 26, 1982, in Lancaster. He has a sister. His parents split up when he was very young, and he was raised by his mother and her long-term partner; he also maintained a relationship with his father. Jon's teachers often noted what a good sense of humour he had on his school reports, and although he dreamed of being a comedian, didn't think it would be possible. He studied Spanish and Portuguese at university but dropped out, became a chef, then decided to give stand-up a go.
Career: In 2003, Richardson won his heat of the BBC New Talent Comedy Search, and a year later did well in the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year competition and J20 Last Laugh Comedy Search. Encouraged by these successes and kind words from Jasper Carrott and Dave Spikey for a performance at the Criterion Theatre in London, his confidence grew. More stand-up followed, including appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He went on to feature on numerous radio shows before moving into TV. Richardson appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Have I Got News For You before becoming a team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats. He's since published his first book, It's Not Me, It's You! and taken part in various documentaries.
Quote: "My big thing is that you should be comfortable on your own in the dark. There's nothing eating away at you."
Trivia: Richardson fronted the documentary A Little Bit OCD in which he examined the lives of OCD sufferers while trying to work out if he also had the condition. It won a Mind Award for best documentary in 2013.
