The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer returns this spring, featuring hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding alongside judge Paul Hollywood —and a surprise temporary replacement for Leith. The 84-year-old baking expert previously announced she would be stepping back from the specials due to the intense filming schedule.

No, Prue Leith is not leaving The Great British Bake Off. Come on, you know we would riot. Earlier this week, rumors of Leith leaving the baking competition reality show began to circulate after a photo of the cast was posted on Instagram.

Prue Leith ’s replacement on the forthcoming special of Great British Bake Off has been revealed. The restaurateur, 84, has been a part of the much-loved baking programme since its move from the BBC to Channel 4 in 2017, replacing the expert role formerly held by Mary Berry.

There’s a shake-up in the Bake Off kitchen as a new judge steps in to help decide the fate of the celebrity bakers. Caroline Waldegrave OBE, a former co-owner and managing director of Leiths School of Food & Wine, will join Paul Hollywood to sample the stars’ creations.
