Mary Berry Quits 'Great British Bake Off' Ahead Of Channel 4 Move

In news that will likely make your nan cry, Mary Berry has sensationally quit The Great British Bake Off.

You know what, we can't even pretend we're not gutted. Mary's saucy innuendos and general cheeky demeanour are one of the best things about GBBO.

In a statement, she wrote: "My decision to stay with the BBC is out of loyalty to them, as they have nurtured me, and the show, that was a unique and brilliant format from day one.

"What a privilege and honour it has been to be part of seven years of magic in a tent.

"I am just sad for the audience who may not be ready for change, I hope they understand my decision."

She added: "The Bake Off family - Paul, Mel and Sue have given me so much joy and laughter."

"I wish the programme, crew and future bakers every possible success and I am so very sad not to be a part of it.

"Farewell to soggy bottoms."

Since Channel 4 bought the show from the BBC, Mel and Sue quit and now Mary Berry.

Will Paul Hollywood stay? I wouldn't bet on it.
