Dame Prue Leith's recipe for when to quit Bake Off: At 84, she wants to walk away on her own terms


The 84-year-old has admitted she wants to walk away from the hit baking show on her own terms, before producers give her the axe from the role she has been in since 2017.

'I am not as physically agile as I was eight years ago,' she told US Weekly whilst promoting her new book Life's Too Short to Stuff a Mushroom. For the first time ever the one-off episode will be soap themed and feature stars from EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale. From EastEnders will be actors Natalie Cassidy and Dean Gaffney who played siblings Sonia Fowler and Robbie Jackson.
