The reality show judge, 83, revealed to theDaily Mail’sWeekend Magazinethat she doesn’t watch the show, and the reason behind it is tied to her look in the series.
“The trouble with our job as judges is you’re looking down all the time and all your chins are on view. Then, to have a gob full of cake…,” she told the outlet.
“I never watchBake Offand the truth is not that I don’t think it’s a wonderful show, I do,” she added. “I’m so vain, I cannot bear seeing my wobbly bits on view all the time.”
The show’snew co-host Alison Hammondadmitted that she too struggled with the temptation to try all the delicious confectionaries made on the show and has been hitting the gym to try to balance it all out.
“I probably put on half a stone. I’ve been working so much, I haven’t been training. I was face down in the cake every single bake,” Hammond said.
“I thought the appeal would’ve worn off, but I was tempted all the time,” she continued. “When you hear Prue say, ‘Oh, that’s delicious…’ I can feel myself dribbling.”
It was announced in March that Hammond would replace comedianMatt Lucasas host after heannounced his departurefrom the show after three years, citing his busy schedule.Paul Hollywoodis set to return as Leith’s co-judge and comedianNoel Fieldingis also returning as a co-host.
“I never get the jokes,” Leith said. “All this stuff about innuendo and things, I feel I’m really glad Alison’s coming because at least she’s a woman and she’ll be a little more sensible.”

“I’m not sure about that; we know Alison,” Hartnett laughed and jokingly replied, alluding to her viralinterviewswith stars includingHarrison FordandRyan Gosling.
“Well, those three men, they’re like three children. You say sausage and everybody always does laughter. What’s wrong with you guys?” Hartnett added. “But anyway, that’s them. Over and over again, I’m the butt of the joke because I’m standing there and I don’t understand why everyone’s laughing. But I have said something which apparently is hilarious and it’s rude, but of course, I don’t get it.”
