Leith, 85, had been a part of the much-loved baking programme since its move from the BBC to Channel 4 in 2017, replacing the expert role formerly held by Mary Berry.

Her replacement, Waldegrave, is a close friend and co-owner of Leiths School of Food and Wine.

Leith made the decision to take a hiatus from the celebrity edition of the show after she found it difficult to keep up her busy schedule.

However, she was adamant that she was not quitting the show. She told This Morning last year: “These things are filmed back-to-back all the way through summer from April to August so you don't get any time off,” she said. “I'm getting quite old and there's places I want to see. So I'm not doing this year's.”

She shut down rumours she was quitting, saying: “It's absolutely not true at all! What I'm not doing this year is the celebrity one.”

She later told MailOnline about the decision: “I absolutely love working on Bake Off and am looking forward to filming the next series and meeting our new bakers.”

“I am only stepping back from the celebrity series, which is just a question of the filming commitment involved as we make these shows back to back.”
