The said in a statement: “Prue will be stepping back from The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer.”
According to The Sun, the show is reportedly eyeing up replacements for the summer series with Nigella Lawson a favourite.
While she may be hanging up her apron for the charity-installment, viewers will continue to see Leith again for the civilian series alongside hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding.
Speaking about the change, Leith shared a statement to The Standard via her representative: “I absolutely love working on Bake Off and am looking forward to filming the next series and meeting our new bakers.
“I am only stepping back from the Celebrity series, which is just a question of the filming commitment involved as we make these shows back to back.”
