It was announced last week Dame Prue was stepping down as a judge on the popular Channel 4 baking show after nine series, including judging more than 400 challenges. ‌Writing for The Spectator, Dame Prue said: “I have been dithering for years about when to stop judging The Great British Bake Off. Dame Prue added: “Nigella is also really nice, mighty glam and seriously bright, sexy and sassy. Ideally, I’d like to work in winter and play in summer.”The Great British Bake Off will air later this year.
