The Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood 'embarrassed by sex symbol status'.
Describing himself as a "normal fat bloke", the judge told a national newspaper that he can't understand why he's the focus of so many female viewers' affections.
He said, "I can't even walk into a fast-food shop without it happening. I'm still not used to it." He went on to describe how uncomfortable he feels when he's stared at in public by fans of the show, however he did state that, "It's very flattering - but I'm just a normal fat bloke from the north."
The 49-year-old had admitted an affair with his US co-star Marcela Valladoid but has since reunited with wife Alexandra.
