Following the news that The Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood has been axed from the BBC's Good Food Show, and replaced by his estranged ex-wife Alex, the chef has appeared on This Morning, where she's categorically denied THAT supermarket spat with Paul's girlfriend Summer Monteys-Fullam.

Alex, who appeared on the show today (Thursday 14th March), was previously accused of 'verbally abusing' Summer at a Marks & Spencer's store in February.

But now, dismissing the claims, Alex, who was married to Paul for 20 years before their split in 2017, has told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that there was no 'spat'.

She said, "First of all I was really excited to coming on the show to cook, I wanted to be here when you said I could come on and there's also speculation about things so I would like to say the reports about this so-called spat, fight.

"It's supposedly in M & S but I can say I didn't say those things, there was no spat no row, I didn't call the police."

Alex then added, "All of the stories are so far from the truth that I don't want to comment on them at all, all I can say is that there was no row. I didn't use that language and I think the most important thing for me to say is divorce is such a hard thing to go on, it's such a difficult thing especially if you're in the public eye."

Alex and Paul first announced their split back in 2017, with the couple releasing a joint statement at the time.

It read, "It is with sadness that we have decided to separate. Our focus continues to be the happiness of our son... We ask the press and public to allow us privacy during this very difficult time."

Paul then started dating 23-year-old Summer in 2018, and despite the couple's 30-year age gap, Summer insisted it's not an issue for them. She said, “I’m fine and I’m enjoying life. I’m not upset… I’m happy. Why should it the age gap bother me?"
