New Bake Off host says he ‘avoids sugar’
New Great British Bake Off presenter Noel Fielding says he is careful about eating sugar because “no-one likes a tubby gut”.
Fielding, 44, who is hosting the Channel 4 show alongside Sandi Toksvig, 59, has revealed he is watching his figure.
He said: “Sugar is a very powerful thing, I get more work when I’m thinner, so I can’t put on weight. No-one likes a tubby gut is what I’m saying.”
The comedian said he likes cake and has “a very sweet tooth”, but added: “I don’t eat anything, I’m like a plant.”
He stopped eating sugar to lose a stone to play singer Alice Cooper on-screen.
In contrast, former host Mel Giedroyc, who fronted the then BBC show with Sue Perkins, admits putting on threequarters of a stone every year thanks to her time in the tent.
