Dame Prue Leith Reveals Why She Quit The Great British Bake Off
Dame Prue Leith judged over 400 Bake Off challenges across nine series before stepping down to enjoy more leisure time, with Nigella Lawson set to replace her.
- Last week, Dame Prue Leith announced she is stepping down as a judge on The Great British Bake Off after nine series, having judged more than 400 challenges.
- At 86, Dame Prue Leith cited a desire to reclaim summers and enjoy her garden after missing holidays due to the summer filming schedule for The Great British Bake Off.
- Following a trip to Madagascar, Leith said she finally jumped and phoned to resign after repeated talks with Love Productions, who insisted she could stay.
- Channel 4 announced Nigella Lawson as Leith’s replacement on the judging panel, and Lawson said `I feel that I'm, I'm not someone who looks for fault, I look for pleasure`, expressing nerves about the role.
- The Great British Bake Off will air later this year, with 2025 season live figures little more than half of the 2016 ratings peak near 15 million, though fresh attention is expected.
