ITV Lorraine fans furious as Bake Off's Prue Leith shares best way to kill an animal

Great British Bake Off star Prue Leith has sparked controversy again as she advised how to kill a lobster.

The South African chef appeared on ITV's Lorraine to chat to Ranvir Singh about her latest tour. But while reminiscing about a time that she had the privilege of cooking for the royals, the Bake Off judge managed to upset viewers.

She told the anecdote of how she had to cook lobsters and took to trying to kill one before serving it up, only to be told it was actually already dead. The 82-year-old shared how to tell if a lobster is dead or alive - the colour is the key indication as they're black when alive and red when dead and cooked.
