Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood has found himself at the centre of a social media storm after a fiery Facebook post about parking problems in Wirral. The celebrity baker, known for his no-nonsense critiques on the hit baking show, didn't hold back when expressing his frustration with local parking enforcement.
The Wirral Parking Dispute
Hollywood took to Facebook to vent about what he described as "ridiculous" parking restrictions in the Wirral area. His post, which has since been deleted but not before being widely shared, accused local authorities of targeting motorists unfairly.
"The parking situation here is beyond a joke," Hollywood wrote. "It's like they're just waiting to pounce the moment your ticket runs out by a minute."
Mixed Reactions from Locals
The post sparked a heated debate among Wirral residents. While some agreed with Hollywood's assessment, others criticised the TV personality for what they saw as privileged complaining.
One local commented: "Try living here full-time and dealing with these issues every day, not just when you visit your fancy house."
Previous Run-ins with Authority
This isn't the first time Hollywood has made headlines for confrontations in Wirral. In 2021, he was involved in a well-publicised dispute with a neighbour over boundary issues at his £1.5 million home.
The latest incident has reignited discussions about celebrity privilege and whether public figures should use their platforms to air local grievances.
As of now, neither Hollywood nor Wirral Council has issued any further statements about the parking dispute.
