It's unknown if Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry will stay with The Great British Bake Off when it moves to Channel 4. Yesterday, hosts Mel and Sue confirmed they won't follow 'the dough' to the show's new home next year.
In a statement, they said: 'We're not going with the dough. We wish all the future bakers every success.'
Love Productions has reportedly made a £25 million deal to move to Channel 4, with the programme ending its 7 year stint on the BBC after its current series.
Mel and Sue have been getting huge support from their peers..
Solid, principled move by @MelGiedroyc and @sueperkins. Nuff respect - how we talk in New York.
