My love scenes aren’t that racy, says Prue

BAKE OFF judge Prue Leith, 78, reveals she plans to retire from fiction writing in two years.

‘There will be one more [book] before I am 80,’ she says. ‘They are not that racy, come on!

‘If a man writes a book with a love scene it is literature, but if a woman writes a book with a love scene, it’s either romantic or racy. I will get one out before my next big birthday and then I will stop.

‘ I want to get the TV adaptation of my book done before I’m 80 — and my real ambition is to stay at Bake Off, if Bake Off lasts, for as long as Mary Berry.

‘ She is wonderful.’
