It's an extraordinary honour to be charged with being in the mix to produce this national treasure of a show #GBBO

South African-born restaurateur, caterer, and cookery writer Prue Leith will join Paul Hollywood as judge.
In an statement released by the show Prue said, "I am just so thrilled to be joining Paul, Sandi and Noel on the biggest show on TV and I cannot wait to see what the real stars of the show – the bakers – are going to create for us. It is such an honour to be part of The Great British Bake Off team."
Fans of the popular show were however not impressed with Noel being part of the show.
They took to Twitter to slam his casting.
@BritishBakeOff a very large no thank you very much. #RIPProperBakeOff

@BritishBakeOff Hmm, love Sandi Toksvig, hate Noel Fielding. Like Prue Leith, hate Paul Hollywood. Combine that with adverts, and... Nope™
