Jamie Oliver is NOT going to be joining Bake Off
One person that has seemingly ruled herself out of presenting duties on the cake baking show is last year’s victor Nadiya Hussain.
Further reports said this amount was around £10 million short of what they would need to retain the popular BBC One show.
According to the Mirror, Mary and Paul are being offered a cool £1million each if they agree to continue to be Bake Off judges.
“I have no idea, anything that happens is nothing to do with my choice”, she told The Sun Online.
He said: ‘The Bake Off started quite a few years ago and as much as the production company created the format the BBC nurtured and worked on it for many years to make it the hit the hit that it has become’.
But the Erith baker managed to scrape through to next week, as the judges deemed Kate Barmby the weakest baker of the week and she was sent home.
After finishing fourth in the lace pancake stage, Mary Berry was less impressed with his show-stopper Spanish churro window box.
The former champion is being lined up as a judge or a presenter on the show while TV bosses continue to search for replacement for Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, who made a decision to walk away from the programme ahead of its switch from the BBC to Channel 4 in 2017.
Question Time presenter David Dimbleby, on the other hand, slammed his employers for offering such a big offer for the show even though they lost out, saying it did not provide ‘value for money’. We love it just as it is.
Under the new partnership the multi-award winning series will remain on free-to-air television.
The duo have hosted the show since it began on BBC Two in 2010 and have won acclaim by fans for their innuendos.
Many on the show, including Mel and Sue, felt that this would mean a nice pay-rise on the cards for them as both earned approximately £100,000 per series.
Nadiya was a fan favourite on the sixth series of the baking contest a year ago, with her career skyrocketing after she was crowned its victor.
