Sandi Toksvig has spoken about her reason for stepping down as host on the Great British Bake Off saying it was time to "move along" but she's still "great mates" with judge Prue Leith. The comedian and author joined Kate Garraway and Adil Ray on Good Morning Britain on Thursday, May 5 for an interview to promote her upcoming tour, Next Slide Please.
But the 64-year-old broadcaster, who hosted the series when it first moved from BBC One back in 2017 alongside Noel Fielding, was also quizzed on why she decided to leave the popular baking series back in 2020. Sandi explained how she wanted to explore new opportunities.
During her appearance on ITV's morning news programme Kate Garraway asked: “Why did you leave by the way? I don’t think we ever worked it out. Did you just get fed up?” to which Sandi replied: “I think you can only watch so much meringue dry and then after a while you do think I to move along now" and laughed.
