Controversy

edit

Before the series started, there was speculation Paul Hollywood would not appear in the show after his marriage broke down.[18][19] Mary Berry, however, was claimed to have supported Hollywood over rumours of his possible sacking by BBC; and the BBC denied the rumours and said that his job was safe.[20]

During the series, there were accusations of Paul Hollywood's favouritism towards Ruby Tandoh,[21] and personal attacks on Tandoh by various people including the chef Raymond Blanc.[22][23][24] Both Paul Hollywood and Ruby Tandoh denied the accusation.[25][26]

Beca Lyne-Pirkis presented a Welsh language cookery show Becws for S4C starting 11 September 2014.[33][34]

Glenn Cosby left teaching and launched his own touring stage show Bake It Big in 2014.[35][36] That same year, Cosby release his book Tasty Travels.
