Former Great British Bake Off Star Sue Perkins has split from Naked Attraction presenter girlfriend Anna Richardson after a seven year relationship.
Sue, 51, and Anna, 50, split just last week and the pair have reportedly been left “devastated” following the break up.
A close friend of the pair told The Sun that both Anna and Sue are devastated.
They said: “We’re all hoping they can patch things up and sort out their differences but for now it appears to be all over.”
Just last year Anna spoke publicly on their romance and discussed welcoming a child into their home.
She told Hello! magazine that she was thinking of adopting or fostering a child, but said she could only speak for herself, not Sue.
At the time, Anna said: “I have this desire to look after someone, to make a difference to a child who perhaps didn’t have the same opportunities as me.”
Anna explained how she felt that she was running out of time and said that Covid-19 focused her mind on what she really wanted to do.
During lockdown, it looked as though Anna and Sue’s relationship was going from strength to strength, with the Channel 4 host recalling how last year they did online poker with friends, cooking and crafting.
However, it seems the pair have decided to go their separate ways after seven long years together.
Sue, best known for being part of the ‘Mel and Sue’ hosting team on Great British Bake Off, first started dating Anna in 2014, after she split with TV producer Charles Martin following an 18-year-long relationship.
Both Anna and Sue were open about their romance, sharing their happy love story with various people, including Lorraine Kelly.
Anna revealed on the ITV show that the pair had met a party and that the “planets aligned”.
She said: “And I just thought, this person, it’s not even about a woman, this person is absolutely extraordinary.”
Anna and Sue are yet to say anything on their own split after it was confirmed by a friend that they had gone their separate ways.
Daily Star Online has contacted representatives of both Sue Perkins and Anna Richardson for comment.
