‘Great British Bake Off’ presenter Sue Perkins has admitted she had an emotional time filming her last ever contribution to the show.
For the past seven years, Sue has co-hosted ‘Bake Off’ with her comedy partner, Mel Giedroyc.
However, the pair stepped down from the show earlier this year, when Love Productions sold the show to Channel 4, and they chose to leave in protest.
Two final Christmas specials with the original ‘Bake Off’ team are yet to be shown, and Sue has now admitted that she had a tough time recording her last contribution the show.
Rather than moving to Channel 4 with ‘Bake Off’, as judge Paul Hollywood has chosen to do, Mel and Sue are sticking with the BBC, and Mary Berry has decided to do the same.
Reports in recent times have hinted that Mary will be teaming up with the presenting duo on a new show, which may even hit our screens before Channel 4’s ‘Bake Off’ reboot.
It was even hinted earlier this month that they could be joined by former champion and fan favourite Nadiya Hussain on the forthcoming project, after BBC Director Of Content Charlotte Moore said that there was “exciting news to come” relating to the former ‘Bake Off’ stars.
However, despite their decision to go in different directions, Paul recently insisted that there was no animosity between himself and the “dysfunctional family” that formed over the seven series ‘Bake Off’ was at the BBC.
He said: “We’ll always be mates, I was with [Mary] last weekend, we had such a giggle. Why would it, how could it [affect our relationship?]”
The ‘Great British Bake Off’ Christmas specials will air on BBC One on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
She was also named the bookies' favourite, more or less as soon as Mel and Sue announced they were stepping down.
On Twitter, hers is the name we keep seeing crop up time and time again, either from people crying out for her to get the job, or pleading with Channel 4 not to give it to her.
In our opinion, it would be a bit too obvious, though, but we'd definitely be in favour of her forming a new double act with runner-up Tamal, with whom she got along like a house on fire in their days on 'GBBO'.
Like Nadiya, he too has managed to bag himself a career in TV, so we wouldn't be surprised if the offer fell at his feet either.
Julian is the undisputed king of innuendo, and his soft-spoken style lends itself perfectly to the 'Bake Off' tent.
He's also become a dab hand at light entertainment since his 'CBB' days, appearing on the panel of 'Your Face Sounds Familiar', as well as fronting 'Nature Nuts' and appearing on 'Give A Dog A Home'.
Hmmm.... maybe not.
Emma must be so stressed out interviewing the stars of 'Celebrity Big Brother' twice a year that we'd be quite happy for her to land a presenting gig that's a bit more... calming.
