Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith has confessed she is 'more reckless' now because she is 'near the end' of her life. The 84-year-old told Bella magazine: 'Because I’m so near the end, I’m a bit more reckless now. What’s the worst that can happen?'
She added that she has adopted a 'why not' attitude towards activities that seem like 'good fun'. This mindset led her to make her catwalk debut at London Fashion Week in September, modelling a skintight black latex outfit for fashion brand Vin + Omi.
Describing the experience, Leith said: 'Two days ago, I got dressed, well, barely dressed, in a skintight black latex number held together with corset-style red cord. I was here to march down a catwalk in front of 500 members of the press and public.' Despite initial nerves, she loved the attention, saying the crowd 'could not have been kinder'.
Leith, who replaced Mary Berry on Bake Off in 2017, also admitted she has thought about leaving the show. 'I won't leave in a hurry, but I will leave some time because I'm getting ancient,' she said.
