Last year, judge Prue Leith announced during a This Morning appearance that she was stepping back from this year’s celebrity edition of the show.
Waldegrave has worked with Leith since the 70s, when she became principal of Leith’s School of Food and Wine – a professional London academy for chefs and amateur cooks – in 1975.
Yes, Leith will make a return for the regular version of the show – it’s just the Celebrity version she’s stepping back from.
A new batch of celebrities including Kate Garraway, Roman Kemp and Amelia Dimoldenberg have been announced to be competing under the Great British Bake Off tent for this year’s Stand Up To Cancer 2025 special.
She’s written several cookbooks both independently and alongside Leith, including Leith’s Cookery Bible.
