Who would you want to replace Prue now she is retiring from GBBO

[Rictasmorticia]

Are there any chefs/cooks that you think would be a good replacement now she has decided to retire? I can’t think of any of the current to chefs who could do it.

Nigella would get my vote. Definitely not, cherish from the pro programme, she’s too fierce!

Lol, I had to look that up!!
Yes she is, and the queen bee of everything in my view, love Delia the one and only

Also love Nigella but like others say, dont think she would do it.

In all honesty I've barely watched the last couple of series as it's just not the same as it was. I want to see delicious bakes, not a biscuit with half the world food aisle crammed into it.

Yes, she’d be great. I love Nancy.

God, not John Whaite.

Nancy Birtwhistle would be great. Knowledgeable, interesting and had a very funny relationship with Paul Hollywood. Anyone else remember when she refused to speak to Paul Hollywood, only referring to him as the male judge? Plus it would be good to have a strong minded older woman, Nadiya is a bit bland.

Deserves a break? She had ten years of her own series and a gazillion books sold. She's well set up for life.

I know she's not strictly a baker but I would love Monica Galetti to do it 🙂

And she's got Coeliac Disease so it would have to turn into the Great Gluten Free Bake Off for her to taste/judge..

Julian Barratt - not a cook, but he might make Noel funny again. (Meow!)

Doesn't she do Masterchef the professionals ?

What about Briony May Williams? She got to the semi final (I think) and has done TV since then so she’s confident and knows how it feels to be a contestant.

Delia would be good but she’s more of an all round cook than a baker like Mary or Prue.

It needs to be a baker. I think Nadiya would be great.

I agree i havn't watched the properly 2 series it is just meh! I do like the standup to cancer ones though.

Oh I'd love this! She's a wonderful cook with a fantastic ethos regarding sustainability. She's also got a healthy disregard for 'the male judge'!

I’d love for a very hard reset, back to the basics. I fondly remember biscuit week and watching some superstars make things worthy of the best afternoon tea.

I don’t want to see what looks like an inedible pile of church shaped slop, in 19 flavours, 65 icing techniques, a tonne of cooling spray and three people to lift. It’s basically an advert for Lakeland for tins, bags and gels.

Make me a lovely filled pie, a Swiss roll, show me how to make better meringue or nail decent tasty bread.

I took so much inspiration and tips from the original series. I watch now in horror some weeks as a lot of money is turned into something I would never have the nerve to put on a plate.

Also, the food hygiene on the show could do with a serious upgrade. I wouldn’t eat half the stuff made due to jewellery, long hair and filthy worktops.

My new presenter vote? I’d love to see someone new that’s not coming in with a baggage.

Why did she call him the male judge?

It's a shoo in for Brooklyn Beckham, surely?

You're right, I hope channel 4 are on the blower to him right now

Nigella Lawson.

Yes but you never know she might fancy a change.

Or maybe they could lure Mary Berry back

I was going to say this. I miss Mary!

She might, I do like her on the hotel programme she does.

Mary Berry is 90 let her have a rest😀
