Bubbly and a bit of horseplay... Paul’s recipe for lover’s 24th birthday
POPPING bottles of £80 champagne, Paul Hollywood gets a big kiss from his young girlfriend at her birthday bash.
The great British Bake off star, 53, hugged Summer Monteys-Fullam as she celebrated her 24th in a lavish, £330-a-head box at Chester racecourse.
By coincidence, the party on Friday came the day before Hollywood’s ex-wife Alexandra celebrated her 55th birthday. And it seems she couldn’t resist having a dig at his much younger lover with a series of photos on Twitter celebrating the ‘many roles’ she has played in her life. Alexandra wrote: ‘i’m a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend.
‘ i’m a cook, an author, i’ve been a wife, a Scuba instructor, a chalet girl, i’ve run businesses, learned a myriad of new skills and travelled to amazing places, met wonderful people and discovered new foods, cultures, languages.’ She added: ‘i’ve been truly blessed and i’m thankful for it all, i’m still filled with curiosity, i know there’s loads more out there for me to discover and i’m so ready for it.’ TV presenter Hollywood, who is reportedly worth around £10million, is in the middle of a divorce from his wife of 19 years, pictured below. Hollywood and Alexandra, who have a 16-year-old son together, announced their split in november 2017. in an interview with the Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine, she said she stood by Hollywood after an 2013 affair for their son’s sake.
But she admitted his second affair – with his now girlfriend – was too much to forgive. Hollywood met Miss Monteys-Fullam at a pub where he was planning a birthday party for his wife.
Miss Monteys-Fullam, pictured right, posted photographs of herself online and showed off a raspberry-glazed birthday cake – although it is not known if Hollywood, her boyfriend of 18 months, baked it for her.
He showered the young barmaid with gifts, including a £1,200 dress by designer Dolce & gabbana, and is believed to have paid £1million for a house for them to share.
Hollywood has just signed a £2million, two-year deal to continue as a judge on Bake off.
