"The meeting occurred on the set of the comedy show, Last One Laughing. Hammond said she was approached by her Bake Off predecessor, Giedroyc, who said how much she enjoyed Hammond on the show. "Oh my god, you don't have to say that," Hammond said of the exchange. She then added, "[Giedroyc's] so graceful and so beautiful - classy woman." "At the end I went 'say hello to Mel for me'.""
"But she said the encounter hadn't gone as smoothly as she'd have liked. According to Hammond, Giedroyc replied, "I will - and Sue." In a fit of laughter after recounting the story, Hammond cackled: "[I] absolutely ruined it at the end, she's never going to forgive me." If we know about Mel Giedroyc, is that she will have taken it all in good favour and will likely have laughed about it herself."
Alison Hammond became a hit after joining The Great British Bake Off alongside Noel Fielding, with judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. The show’s presenting lineage includes Noel with Matt Lucas and Sandi Toksvig, and original hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc. Hammond recently met Mel Giedroyc on the set of Last One Laughing, where Giedroyc complimented Hammond. Hammond responded warmly but accidentally added an awkward remark, which she later laughed about. The report notes this year's Bake Off contestants included four queer bakers, one of whom is a drag king. The Great British Bake Off airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
