Matt Lucas has announced tonight (Tuesday) that he is stepping down from his presenting role on The Great British Bake Off. The comedian, 48, who hosts the popular Channel 4 show alongside Noel Fielding, shared the news on his Instagram.
He wrote: “Farewell Bake Off! It’s been a delicious experience and I can’t imagine a more fun way of spending my summers, but it’s become clear to me that I can’t present both Fantasy Football League and Bake Off alongside all my other projects.
“So, after three series and 51 episodes, I am cheerfully passing the baguette on to someone else.”
