OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Prue Leith gets “mobbed” by American fans.
The ‘Great British Bake Off’ star is a huge hit in the US and admitted that she can’t even walk down the street without being approached by “over the top” fans.
According to The Mirror, Prue, 83, said during the final night of her UK tour, ‘Prue Leith: Nothing in Moderation’: “I can’t walk down the street without them going, ‘Oh my God, it’s you!’
“You think they are going to have a heart attack because it is me. They are so over the top.
“They love ‘Bake Off’… when we were in LA, they were whooping and hollering. They are obsessed.”
Prue also revealed that she often misses the saucy jokes on ‘Bake Off’ as she doesn’t understand the innuendo.
She said: “‘I never get the joke. I don’t know whether I am too old. They are like teenage boys, Noel and Paul. Paul will start laughing at the word ‘sausage’. I never get it and always put my foot in it. Someone always sees something rude in what I have said.”
Prue recently revealed she can’t wait for Alison Hammond to join the show, alongside her, Paul Hollywood and Noel Fielding.
Speaking about departing host Matt Lucas, she said: ‘I love Matt Lucas and I’m sure we’ll be friends for life, but the fact is, when there were three men and me, because there were numbers of them, they just got sillier and sillier and I never understand the jokes.
“They can go into hysterics about the word sausage. They’re like four years olds. So, I’m looking forward to having a woman around.
“I think it’ll be fantastic, not only because of her character and her personality, but I like the fact she’s a woman.”
