is in her sixth series of Channel Four’s Great British Bake Off – “the best job in the world” – alongside Paul Hollywood, Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding, and has just published her latest cookbook, Bliss On Toast.
This year’s Bake Off final airs tonight. Describing the popular baking show as “tolerant, inclusive, encouraging and kind”, Leith adds: “I’m just sorry anyone was offended, because that’s not in the spirit of Bake Off. It does make you think, if [we cook] any foreign food and it’s not regarded as as a sign of appreciation and celebration, and imitation being flattery, then we’re in trouble, because British cooking has always been about taking other countries’ ideas.
It was a surprise to Leith – who married her second husband, retired fashion designer John Playfair, in 2006 – to even be considered for the job replacing Mary Berry back in 2017. “I thought, going to Channel Four, they’d want to change everything, but guess what? They found another old lady.” "So we’ve always had scrambled eggs and crisp bacon on Sunday nights, or mushrooms on toast, always something on toast – it’s comforting. If you’re feeling ill and you can’t eat anything, you can always eat a piece of dry toast. And then you get a bit better and you want some butter on it. The next morning it’s got marmalade on it.”
what about Prue's vile Tory child that is real shame she doesn't have GBBO
That and voting for Brexit…
