Channel 4's Great British Bake Off finally hit our TV screens last night after much controversy. With the veteran baker slot on the judging panel taken over by TV chef Prue Leith, the internet gave their verdict on Mary Berry's replacement.
Leith is an acclaimed food writer and restaurateur who also judged the show Great British Menu for 10 years. She is an old friend of Mary Berry and show bosses apparently see her as a "like for like" replacement.
A source told The Sun , “Both are from similar backgrounds, so hopefully viewers will be accepting and give Prue a chance to win them over. Following in Mary’s footsteps is a big challenge, but the producers are confident that Prue has all the attributes."
Longtime judge Paul Hollywood has said he "couldn't be more delighted" about the new line-up, but the internet has had a slightly more mixed reaction...
