Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith has said the camera operators always focus on her chewing – but ignore fellow judge Paul Hollywood when he eats.
The 83-year-old – who was drafted in to the show in 2017 after Mary Berry left when it moved from the BBC to Channel 4 – said Paul, 58, always looked good on the show.
Dame Prue said she hated watching herself on telly, saying the cameras always showed her in an ‘unflattering’ light.

She said: “I just think ‘Oh my God, why do they always have me eating?’…and never Paul.
“Paul gets the sort of good stare, and he looks fantastic, but you don’t see Paul putting much food in his mouth.”

The mum-of-two also said the cameramen and women were ‘always going round the back’ of her and ‘taking photographs of my fat places’.
She added: “And my profile is awful. And why don’t I keep my chin up, and then my double chin wouldn’t show?
“It’s ridiculous, because I am what I am. And everybody knows what I am.
“They seem to not mind. So why do I mind? But I do. So I don’t watch it much.”

Dame Prue also said her husband, retired fashion designer John Playfair, sometimes told her not to wear some dresses which he said ‘look like tents’.
She said: “He (John) is very interested in what I wear.
“Quite critical sometimes…occasionally he doesn’t like something, and says ‘That looks like a tent’.”
