Hollywood bust giving baker a watch while married

pictured, PAUL Hollywood, lavished gifts on a TV baker 25 years his junior while still married, it was claimed this week.

The judge, 52, reportedly even splashed out £5000 (R88700) on a designer watch for 27-year-old Molly Robbins.

He is also said to have exchanged a string of flirty messages with the

star and paid for expensive meals after he met her at the BBC’s Good Food Show in 2014.

The former make-up artist shared a picture of herself with Hollywood at the time, writing: “of all the pictures I could have had with Paul, I can’t find one that doesn’t look like I’m touching him up! Dammit!”.

Alexandra Hollywood, 54, only discovered her husband’s inappropriate messages with Robbins after they announced their divorce in 2017.

A picture shows Robbins drinking a glass of wine while wearing a

£5 000 Tag Heuer watch, thought to have been given to her by Hollywood.

The revelation comes days after his estranged wife said she did not know if she would ever trust a man again following her husband’s affairs.

She and Hollywood first separated in 2013 after he admitted to an affair with Marcela Valladolid, an American chef 12 years his junior, when they starred together on the US version of

The couple, who have a son Josh, 17, were reconciled but split for good in November 2017.

While her ex-husband is now dating 23-year-old barmaid Summer Monteys-Fullam, Alexandra, said she was happy being on her own.

The cookery writer said it took her a long time to come to terms with the breakdown of her marriage, which she likened to a bereavement.

“I don’t regret taking Paul back that first time. It was the right thing to do for me and my son,” she said.

“Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but if you make a decision you stick with it. I’m not embarrassed it didn’t work out.”

She added: “No one should underestimate how separation and divorce can hit you.”

Hollywood claimed he only began dating Monteys-Fullam after his marriage broke down.

But it has been reported Alexandra plans to name her in the divorce papers claiming that Hollywood committed adultery.
