Why Mary Berry really quit Great British Bake Off after seven years on show

The Great British Bake Off returns to Channel 4 tonight – with Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith back in the tent judging the bakers alongside hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding.

It’s been eight years since the show moved over to BBC and beloved judge Dame Mary Berry stepped down – but why did she decide to quit? Well, it was announced in 2016 that the show would be moving over to Channel 4, after the show’s production company, Love Productions, sold the broadcasting rights.

It wasn’t just Berry who decided to stay with the BBC. Hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins also made the decision to stay – although Paul Hollywood, who starred alongside them at the time made the decision to move over to Channel 4.

According to Mary, “I’m choosing to stay with the BBC because they have nurtured me and the show, which was a unique and brilliant format from day one,” she said in a statement.

What a privilege and honor it was to participate in seven years of magic inside a tent. I hope the audience understands my decision because I’m just sad for the audience, who might not be ready to change. I’m so grateful to Paul, Mel, and Sue for their joy and laughter.

Before she made the joke, “Farewell to soggy bottoms,” she said, “I wish the programme, crew, and future bakers every possible success and I’m so sad not to be a part of it”!

But does the star still watch the show? Well the answer is no, she previously told the Mirror.

Speaking about This Morning star Alison Hammond being announced as co-presenter in 2023, the 90-year-old said: “I hope she’s very good. They’ve had a good swap round since I left. But they’re all good, they bring a different way of life to Bake Off.”

However, Mary acknowledged that she wouldn’t be watching the show because she continued, “I don’t actually watch Bake Off; you can imagine that because we don’t watch much cooking on television.

12 new bakers will debut at 8 p.m., and Paul Hollywood anticipates handing out many handshakes.

The baking standard is still the same, but since series one, he said, has improved consistently.

The bakers in series one were of their time, but the baking has improved, not to say that. The difficulties are a little more challenging. However, they have all risen to the occasion and produced truly incredible things.

According to an insider, the “distance was just difficult,” so they made the decision to part ways once more. For comment, The Mirror reached out to their representatives.

Friends are hoping this might just be a blip because it’s all still very fresh, the source told The Sun. “Obviously, they’ve worked things out before.

When they were contestants in the villa during season seven of Love Island, they foretold each other for the first time in 2021. After coming to terms with the fact that Liam had his head briefly turned in Casa Amor, the pair eventually won the show.

We’re both prepared for fresh chapters, and I’m looking forward to what comes next. “Love, Millie.

Geri Horner’s rarely-seen daughter is spitting image of Spice Girl on day out

As she enjoyed a leisurely day out in London, Geri Horner’s eldest child, Bluebell Madonna, resembled the Spice Girls powerhouse.

In her prime, Geri Horner’s daughter wore the same outfit as the Spice Girls star. Since her relationship with Sacha Gervasi, Geri’s eldest child, Bluebell Madonna Halliwell, rarely speaks in front of her famous mother these days.

The 19-year-old, however, embraced the recent warmer weather as she walked through the capital while making a phone call on a leisurely day out in London. Bluebell wore clothing to the warmer weather.

The teen chose to enjoy a splash of color with her bold appearance, in contrast to her mother’s all-white wardrobe. A daring split up appeared on the front of her thighs, which she wore in a light and dark blue floral-patterned dress. Bluebell chose a pair of blue Adidas trainers, which added a touch of casualness to her glamorous outfit, despite the fact that Geri is known for her bold footwear choices.

She freely swept her auburn hair down her back and tucked it all in a neat ponytail. She complemented her appearance with a silver necklace, dainty hooped earrings, and oversized black sunglasses.

At the Burberry Fashion Week winter show earlier this year, Bluebell and her famous mother took to the stage. After only six weeks, Geri and Sacha, her husband’s singer, Geri, split up. However, Geri continued to give birth to Bluebell in May 2006.

And while Geri keeps Bluebell and Monty out of the spotlight, she did post a photo of her daughter’s GCSE results day success on social media in 2022.

Geri wrote alongside the snap, “SO proud of you Blue, all A stars Nine GCSEs,” and Bluebell looked overjoyed as she posed in the family home. You put in a lot of effort. You motivate me. “Girl power”

However, with her two children and Christian Horner, a former Red Bull Formula One boss, behind closed doors, Geri revealed even more about her life last year. Geri stated in an interview on Cressida Bonas’ Lessons from Our Mothers podcast that she tries to be the mother she can share whatever is happening.

18 and 19 are really challenging, in my opinion. Being an adult for a toddler is similar. When a toddler is learning to walk, they are taking the steps, but somehow they want to know that their mother is there, and I believe that is true between ages 18 and 19. You want your own freedom, but you also want to check on your parents just in case.

Additionally, she previously claimed that Bluebell also refers to Christian as “daddy”. She stated to the publication, “I never made them feel forced to find their own way.”

She chose to call him [Christian] Daddy, which she did. Their bond is incredible. After having me to herself for so long, Bluey suddenly had a little stepsister, who is just so sweet and is now a baby brother, making a huge change.

She is a great child, smart and funny, and has a big heart, even for a young girl. She deserves praise.

These Skechers have received 1, 844 New Look reviews, giving them a 4.44 star rating. Despite receiving numerous negative reviews, one satisfied customer remarked, “I’m glad I bought these shoes. I’m glad I did.” Since I first received them, they have always been my go-to pair of shoes. They are by far the most comfortable pair of shoes to wear all day”!

The praise continues, “I don’t just wear these for shopping, then to the gym, and so on.” I didn’t have to break them in at all, and I found them comfortable from the beginning. Some reviewers advise against purchasing if you have weak ankles, but I don’t think that because of how well they provide excellent support all around. Overall, a fantastic pair of shoes with a tan and white sole for everyday wear. I adore them without a doubt”!

I also have 19 pairs of these trainers that both have “stand on air” and “air around you.” Very comfortable and appropriate for the majority of my polo shirts at work. Love them . Keep this aesthetic, but we need more vibrant colors.

Of course, not everyone agreed with the comfort claims. One unhappy customer wrote, “I bought these because I really like the style in white but they make my ankles hurt, which is something I’ve never had in my life, and I wear a lot of Skechers.” I’ll make a call to see if they can be returned.
