Matt Lucas makes exit from Great British Bake Off public

Matt Lucas has stepped down from the Great British Bake Off, citing conflicts with his other commitments. The host issued a beautiful statement explaining his decision, thanking his co-presenter Noel Fielding - whom he jokingly referred to as 'Noelipops' - as well as judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, as well as the production staff and broadcaster Channel 4.

The comedian shared his remark on social media, saying, "Farewell Bake Off!" It's been a great experience, and he can't think of a more enjoyable way to spend my summers.

However, he has realized that he can only offer Fantasy Football League and Bake Off with some of his other endeavours. So, three seasons and 51 episodes later, he gladly passes the baguette to someone else.


He expressed his heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to everyone at Love Productions and Channel 4, as well as Noelipops, Paul, Dame Prue, the crew, and, of course, the beautiful bakers, for bringing him inside the Tent. He wishes the best for whoever takes over, and he can't wait to watch the next series without knowing who won.



The official Twitter account for The Great British Bake Off also posted a screenshot of Lucas' message. They commented that they had enjoyed having Matt Lucas liven up our Tent over the last three years, wildly when laughing and smiles were in short supply. They are grateful for everything he has done for Bake Off, from working in covid bubbles to assisting the bakers.
