British restaurateur and television presenter Prue Leith has updated fans about her future on the Great British Bake Off. After stepping away from the celebrity version of the show, she confirmed her return for the regular series but remains unsure about her long-term involvement.
“I said no to the celebrity one because I wanted time off. I love Bake Off. It’s great fun. Everyone gets on and the bakers are amazing. Will this be my last one? I honestly don’t know. I know I’ll have to stop sometime, and I’d rather jump than be pushed. But right now I’m very happy,” said Prue, hinting at the uncertainty surrounding her continued participation in the beloved show.
In addition to her work on the Bake Off, Prue continues to host her own show, “Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen,” where she’s been joined by her husband John Playfair. However, she humorously admitted that his growing recognition from the show has caused some lighthearted tension in their marriage.

Caroline Waldegrave OBE, a close friend of Prue, has stepped in to replace her on the celebrity version of the show. She expressed being “completely terrified” to take over from Prue but praised the kindness and warmth of the production company and her co-hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond.
With uncertainty looming over her future on the Great British Bake Off, it remains to be seen how long Prue Leith will continue enchanting audiences with her warmth and expertise on the show.
