"" 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 judge Paul, Alison and Noel and the teams at Love Productions and Channel 4," she wrote in the caption. "But now feels like the right time to step back (I'm 86 for goodness sake!), there's so much I'd like to do, not least spend summers enjoying my garden."
"The bakers' tent is about to become a much less boozy place. Prue Leith, lover of boozy baked goods and funky necklaces, is leaving The Great British Bake Off. She confirmed her departure in an Instagram post shared on both her and the show's pages. While her departure is sad, it must be said: She's 86? Dearest Prue, please drop the skin-care routine."
Prue Leith has announced her departure from The Great British Bake Off after judging nine seasons since joining in season eight. She confirmed the news in an Instagram post, saying she loved the show and will miss fellow judges Paul, Alison and Noel and the production teams. Leith said now feels like the right time to step back at age 86 and that she plans to spend summers enjoying her garden. Leith replaced Mary Berry when the show moved from the BBC to Channel 4. The show has not confirmed a replacement, prompting speculation about possible successors such as Nadiya Hussain.
