""After nine series and judging more than 400 challenges, I have decided to step down as a judge on The Great British Bake Off," Leith writes on Instagram today. "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."
"Leith has been a chef since the 1960s, opening her own Michelin-starred restaurant in London in 1969. The chef admitted she was skeptical about joining a reality cooking show at first because "I'm not very good at watching telly," she . "And especially hadn't ever really watched food programs. The last thing I wanted to watch was more food because I spent all day with food." Now, she can spend her day doing whatever she wants."
