Dame Prue: I'm on a cake-only diet during the Bake Off... but I leave room for a glass of wine for dinner


Dame Prue, 84, says she simply skips breakfast and lunch, and so doesn't put on any weight during Bake Off.

Dame Prue Leith has revealed she adopts an all-cake diet during the time it takes to film Great British Bake Off But the move was unpopular with some of the cast – original presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc quit in disgust, as did national treasure Dame Mary Berry, who was a judge.
