Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins have revealed they quit The Great British Bake Off on its first ever day of filming, meaning the seven series they spent hosting the show almost never happened.
Judge Mary Berry also quit the show, but Paul Hollywood stayed on and was joined by Prue Leith, Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding.
They were pointing cameras in the bakers’ faces and making them cry and saying, ‘Tell us about your dead gran.’
Especially if you work in television and you know the mechanisms that have been used to make them cry.”
