I wanted to be show-stopper

GREAT British Bake Off bosses were in a jam when beloved judge Prue Leith wanted to leave.

Prue departing would not be the show-stopper any of the series' millions of fans wanted to see.

But makers Love Productions got out of a pickle by finding the right recipe to convince Prue, 84, to stay - alongside fellow judge Paul Hollywood, 58, and hosts Alison Hammond, 49, and Noel Fielding, 51. They changed filming so Prue and the crew can have some weekends off.

But she will be missing from the next Celebrity version of Bake Off, which raises money for Channel 4's Stand Up To Cancer charity.
