"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. 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."
"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.""
Prue Leith is stepping down as a judge on The Great British Bake Off after nine series and more than 400 challenges. She joined the show in 2017 following appearances on The Great British Menu and My Kitchen Rules. Leith has worked as a chef since the 1960s and opened a Michelin-starred restaurant in London in 1969. She was initially skeptical about joining a reality cooking show because she did not watch much television and did not want to watch more food after spending all day with food. At age 86 she plans to step back to spend summers in her garden and pursue other interests while expressing fondness for her fellow judges and the production teams.
