Bake Off’s Prue Leith 'put 28 people in hospital' after dodgy chicken blunder

Dame Prue Leith has revealed she gave 30 people food poisoning after serving up a dodgy chicken, with 28 ending up in hospital.

The Great British Bake Off judge, 82, recalled the debacle from the early days of her catering career when her company, Leith's Good Food, was hired to cater an event.

Prue said: “You can't be in catering for 30 years without something going disastrously wrong.”
