She has been the co-presenter of the show since 2017
She is leaving the show to focus on other work projects, which includes hosting the forthcoming Channel 4 series The Write Offs, which looks at the issue of adult literacy.
In a statement released on Thursday morning, she said that working on the show"has been one of the great pleasures" of her life. Channel 4 are now looking for a new co-presenter of the show, saying must they have experience of mopping up spills, the occasional tear, making tea and keeping the amateur bakers to time."When stepping down from a job it is quite common for people to say they are doing so in order to spend more time with their family."Unusually I am departing from the Great British Bake Off so I can spend more time with my other work. As my waistline will testify, Bake Off is an all-consuming show.
"These are friendships which I know will continue beyond the confines of television. Bake Off is a wonderful programme which has already proved it can happily withstand a change of hosting personnel. "The reason for that, of course, is that the true stars of the show are the bakers themselves. I wish everyone well."Hit play for The Architects of Business
