Matt Lucas has announced he is leaving The Great British Bake Off after three series. The comedian has co-hosted the Channel 4 show alongside Noel Fielding since 2020 but has now announced his time on the show is over after 51 episodes in an emotional post.
In a statement on Tuesday, Matt said he will be stepping away from Bake Off due to his busy schedule, saying he wouldn't have the time to host it alongside his work on Fantasy Football League.
He said he would be 'cheerfully passing the baguette' onto someone else and went on to thank Channel 4 and production in his statement on Twitter.
