Read our privacy policy Prue Leith has confessed that she’d never heard of her The Great British Bake Off co-star Noel Fielding until he appeared on the show. The popular judge on the Channel 4 baking series appeared on Lorraine today, where she shared some anecdotes about her early days as a cook, as well as her thoughts on Matt Lucas’ recent exit from Bake Off. “So, after three series and 51 episodes, I am cheerfully passing the baguette on to someone else.” Asked who she’d like to replace Lucas on the show, Leith paused before sharing her thoughts. Lucas’ replacement has yet to be announced by Channel 4 or the series’ producers, but many are hoping it could lead to a fun reunion for Fielding.
