Despite Paul Hollywood agreeing to stay on the show, Mary revealed she would be leaving after seven years out of ‘loyalty’. The 81-year-old released the following statement…
"What a privilege and honour it has been to be part of 7 years of magic in a tent - The Great British Bake Off. The Bake Off family - Paul, Mel and Sue have given me so much joy and laughter."
"My decision to stay with the BBC is out of loyalty to them, as they have nurtured me, and the show, that was a unique and brilliant format from day one. I am just sad for the audience who may not be ready for change, I hope they understand my decision."
"I wish the programme, crew and future bakers every possible success and I am so very sad not to be a part of it. Farewell to soggy bottoms."
Upon hearing the news of her departure, fans of the popular baking show were quick to share their sadness on Twitter.
