Prue Leith is glad Great British Bake Off bosses have ‘slimmed down’ her schedule

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Prue Leith has a “slimmed down” schedule for ‘Great British Bake Off’.
The 84-year-old star – who has been a judge on the hit Channel 4 baking competition with Paul Hollywood since 2017 – revealed bosses have made things easier for her as she gets older, and while she has no immediate plans to step down, she knows it will happen one day.
She told Best magazine: “I’ll have to go at some point.
“This year has been easier, because they’ve slimmed down my schedule; I was finding it hard to manage everything, so I’ve dropped the celebrity version and that’s made such a difference.
“So I won’t leave in a hurry, but I will leave some time because I’m getting ancient.”
Dame Prue has no plans to hang up her apron just yet, but she has grown to love an afternoon nap to “help” her during long days.
Asked if she’s planning to retire, she added: “Not yet. One of the things I learned in lockdown is how good a siesta is.
“Now I say to everybody, ‘Can you build it into my schedule please?’ It helps.”
‘Bake Off’ – which is hosted by Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding – was filmed over the summer, and the judge admitted she has “forgotten most of it” now it’s finally on air.
While she often thinks she has a good idea about who could win the competition at the beginning, as time goes on she ends up “wrong”.
She said: “I always think I know, and I’m always wrong!
“‘Bake Off’ is a very difficult competition, because you can do three weeks in a row where you get Star Baker and then you have a really bad week and you’re out.”
‘The Great British Bake Off’ airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
