The upcoming Christmas special, which will see the cast of Peep Show take on festive baking challenges, has been open to Great British Bake Off judge Dame Prue Leith.
Prue Leith has made a rather awkward confession about the forthcoming Christmas special of The Great British Bake Off, pleading: “don’t tell them”. The festive instalment of the hit baking programme, scheduled to broadcast on Christmas Day, will feature stars from the cult Channel 4 comedy Peep Show – David Mitchell, Olivia Colman, Isy Suttie, Matt King and Sophie Winkleman – tackling a series of baking tasks.
Presented by The Mighty Boosh comedian Noel Fielding alongside This Morning’s Alison Hammond, The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off will see the celebrity contestants scrutinised by Bake Off legends Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.
During a recent chat, Prue discussed the forthcoming Peep Show special, but made a somewhat awkward revelation – admitting she’d never actually watched the programme. She then made a humorous request and confessed that she doesn’t “watch any telly”.
The 85-year-old told Woman’s Own magazine that she had never even heard of Peep Show when she spoke openly about her new holiday bakers. Don’t tell them, please! But I enjoyed it after watching it.
She continued, “To be honest, I’m typically bluffing my head off with the celebrities because I don’t watch any television.” The only people I’m likely to know are actors of a certain age.
In other news, Prue recently left gardening icon and Ground Force legend Alan Titchmarsh gobsmacked when she made an unexpected remark about vegetables during an appearance on his ITV programme Love Your Weekend last month (November 23).
Robert Bathurst, a fellow guest on Downton Abbey and Cold Feet, and Prue questioned him about his veg-growing exploits and how he handled the summer glut.
What do you do with all the summer produce that you grow? She posed the question. There are “all these b***y tomatoes and “all these spinach piles.”
Prue described her own experience, “I spent years growing and processing, and what you do is you freeze spinach, it fills the freezer, and then you have far too much of it, making room in the freezer next year for more spinach and putting that lot on the compost heap”.”
Instead of what she described as a “mountain” on Monday and “nothing” the following day, she continued, claiming that the supermarket has “perfectly good packets” for the vegetables she requires.
As Alan retorted, “If only we could edit that out,” the group laughed as she made her comments.
He joked in a joke about how the supermarket has it in the middle of the night.
