During their meeting, Giedroyc complimented Hammond on her work on the baking show.
Hammond reciprocated by praising Giedroyc as a "beautiful and classy woman".
The encounter turned awkward when Hammond mistakenly asked Giedroyc to "say hello to Mel for me", intending to refer to Sue Perkins, leading Hammond to believe Giedroyc will "never forgive her".
