#PAULHOLLYW­OOD

A photo of the Great British Bake Off judge dressed in a Nazi outfit 14 years ago surfaced in a national paper, prompting Hollywood to issue a statement saying he was “devastated”. @beth_butler_ joked: “Bet it was Mary Berry who leaked the pic of Paul Hollywood dressed as a Nazi as revenge for leaving her for channel 4.” @no1whisky observed: “Paul Hollywood has brought this on himself. Him dressing as a Nazi wasn’t a childish mistake. Appalling taste and judgement.” @Siobhanmoo­re90 posted: “i wanted to see why paul hollywood was trending. that was not what i was expecting.” @Willblack writer noted: “So Paul Hollywood once went to a fancy dress party and that is news? I once dressed as a lion tamer but I don’t tame lions.” @stavvers offered: “my prime suspect for the Paul Hollywood photo leak is Mary Berry, she’s exactly the sort of person who would go to an Allo Allo themed party.”

#TONYBLAIR
