For many, the Great British Bake Off is a wholesome show, one which offers pure escapism from the drama of the world as constants bake delicious treats every week.
However, one former contestant managed to stir the pot when she clashed with baker and judge Paul Hollywood. Ruby Tandoh competed in the 2013 series of Bake Off and later went on to have a public feud with the presenter.
Ruby, who appeared on the popular show at age 21, looks completely different nine years later, going from natural brown curly hair and very little make-up to longer violet-coloured hair and more dramatic make-up.
Prior to this, Ruby sported a shaved head look and now her barnett appears to drop to at least shoulder length. Currently, she still bakes and she has released a number of cookbooks, reports Wales Online.
After competing in Bake Off, Ruby went on to have a public feud with Paul when she called him a "walking gammon joint" and a "peacocking manchild", and accused him of "lingering where the money is" after the show moved from the BBC to Channel 4 in 2016.
During the 2013 series, many viewers commented on the 'chemistry' between Ruby and married Paul but Ruby also took a swipe at this and reignited the feud when she came out on Twitter.
She said: "For those who thought I fancied Paul Hollywood or that I’d ever bang him to get ahead - JOKE’S ON YOU, YOU MASSIVE S******G MISOGYNISTS."
Paul hit back at this comment and said: "Very happy for you Ruby... but why do you feel it necessary bringing me into your announcement?"
The new series of Bake Off kicked off on Tuesday, September 13 despite fears it may have been delayed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. In the first episode, the show was dedicated to Chloe Avery who worked on the production team for Bake Off and passed away from cancer in August 2022.
Will was the first contestant to leave the 2022 competition as his showstopper cake was overbaked. You can keep up to date with who has left Bake Off here.
