In a stunning revelation that will shock Bake Off fans nationwide, judge Paul Hollywood has admitted he fundamentally disagreed with one of the show's past winner decisions.
The silver-haired baking expert, known for his piercing blue eyes and exacting standards, made the confession during a candid interview that peeled back the curtain on the hit Channel 4 programme.
The Moment of Disagreement
While Hollywood remained tight-lipped about which specific series caused the controversy, he revealed there was one particular finale where he felt the wrong baker took home the coveted trophy.
'There's one [winner] I think probably shouldn't have won,' Hollywood disclosed, sending Bake Off enthusiasts into a frenzy of speculation about which champion he was referring to.
Behind the Scenes Tensions
The 58-year-old judge explained that such disagreements are part of the judging process, stating: 'We don't always agree, no. We have different opinions sometimes.'
This rare glimpse into the judges' deliberation room reveals that the harmonious partnership viewers see on screen sometimes masks genuine differences of opinion about baking talent.
From BBC to Channel 4: The Evolution Continues
Hollywood also addressed the show's transition from BBC to Channel 4, confirming that the essence of Bake Off remains unchanged despite the channel hop.
'It's exactly the same show, just a different channel,' he insisted, reassuring fans who feared the programme would lose its charm after the highly publicised move.
Future of the Baking Phenomenon
With Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding now firmly established as the presenting duo, Hollywood expressed his satisfaction with the current lineup, suggesting the show has found its perfect rhythm after several casting changes.
The judge's surprising admission adds another layer to the rich tapestry of Bake Off history, proving that even after all these years, the show still has secrets to reveal.
