"The hosting ensemble of the Great British Baking Show tends to attract as much intrigue and speculation as the substance of the show itself. Their offbeat humor (at times to the tune of overt cultural insensitivity) and not-infrequent cast fluctuations have drawn plenty of headlines in their own right, this very publication included. So, it's no surprise that host Prue Leith's departure from the famed tent has fans chattering. Read more below on which food icon will fill her shoes."
"Leith announced her retirement on Instagram writing: "Bake Off has been a fabulous part of my life for the last nine years, I have genuinely loved it and I'm sure I'll miss working with my fellow judges Paul, Alison and Noel and the teams at Love Productions and Channel 4," she wrote in a post on Instagram on January 21. "But now feels like the right time to step back (I'm 86 for goodness sake!).""
Prue Leith is leaving The Great British Baking Show after presiding over more than 400 challenges across nine seasons. She joined the series in 2017 as Mary Berry's replacement and announced her retirement on Instagram on January 21, citing age. Rumors indicate Nigella Lawson will likely take Leith's role, though her on-air style may differ. The show's hosts have generated offbeat humor, occasional cultural insensitivity, and frequent cast changes. Other items of note include Chipotle filing paperwork in early January to form a corporate PAC and reports of Minnesota restaurants closing in protest of ICE raids.
