Has Paul’s new love put her shirt on being the next Mrs Hollywood?
NOW there’s a vacancy to be the next Mrs Paul Hollywood, it looks as though someone is auditioning for that role.
The Bake Off star’s girlfriend wore a T-shirt emblazoned with his name – the same day his divorce was all but finalised.
Summer Monteys-Fullam, 24, was spotted wearing the “Hollywood” top at the home she shares with the 53-year-old in Kent.
She combined it with ripped denim jeans and brown kneelength country boots, topped off with sunglasses.
Hollywood’s divorce from wife Alex, 54, was all but sealed yesterday when a judge took just 10 seconds to rule that he had cheated on her.
District Judge Robert Duddridge granted the cookery writer a “quickie divorce” after accepting her claim that the star was “intolerable” to live with.
Affair
Neither Hollywood or his estranged spouse attended yesterday’s hearing at the Central Family Court in London.
But the court granted Alex’s application for a decree nisi on the grounds of adultery and agreed that the couple’s 19-year marriage had broken down irretrievably.
If unchallenged, the decree will become absolute in six weeks.The couple have a son Josh, 18.
Hollywood has been seeing barmaid Summer for two years after meeting her while arranging Alex’s birthday party.
He also had an affair six years ago with Marcela Valladolid, his co-star on a US baking show.
The Wirral-born former art student is expected to hand over up to half of his £10million fortune.
Legal experts believe Alex is likely to get the £2.4million house marital home as part of a deal already settled by their lawyers.
Hollywood began his career working at his father’s bakery before training to be a chef at hotels including The Dorchester.
He left to work at holiday resorts in Cyprus – where he met Alex – before moving into TV through guest spots, then the Great British Bake Off in 2010.
Reuniting with his wife following the 2013 fling, he described his lapse as “the biggest mistake of my life”.
But after they parted for good, Alex spoke of her heartbreak.
She said: “I compare it to a moment where you’re driving along the motorway and then, the next moment, something beyond your control happens and you’re driving in a completely different direction.”
The broadcaster and social media star recently revealed that she has undergone surgery to remove a cancerous growth from her nose.
Hollywood was spotted two months ago treating Summer to a champagne-fuelled day at Chester races for her 24th birthday.
