Mel and Sue are to ‘The Great British Bake Off’ what yeast is to a perfect loaf, quite frankly.
OK, so terrible analogies aside (when was the last time a sliced Granary had you tittering?), the news that the presenting duo have quit the BBC show after it was announced that it is set to move to Channel 4 has not gone down well with viewers.
