Prue Leith is prepared for a brand new period contained in the tent. 

After The Nice British Baking Present co-host Matt Lucas introduced he was leaving the present after three seasons in December, choose Prue advised Saga, in line with Categorical, that she was “very, very unhappy” about his exit—however that hasn’t prevented her from fascinated about his potential substitute.

Whereas Prue famous that she will be able to “completely perceive” why Matt made the choice to depart the present, citing his want “to do extra writing, extra theatre,” she simply hopes that whoever takes over for Matt is any person that she really is aware of.

“I might like any person that I’ve heard of,” Prue not too long ago stated in an interview with ITV’s Lorraine. “I get to like them however the fact is that I’ve by no means understood Matt and [co-host] Noel‘s [Fielding] jokes anyway.”

If Prue does not know the brand new host, at the very least there’s some historic motive for optimism. Prue, who admitted that she had “by no means heard of Noel Fielding till I met him,” now has a seamless chemistry with the co-host.

Prue and Noel, who each joined The Nice British Baking Present throughout season eight in 2017, will stay on the present, together with choose Paul Hollywood.
