Prue announced that she was leaving the show last week after nine series, having replaced original judge Mary Berry back in 2017. Since then, fans of the iconic TV show have been wondering who will step up to join Paul Hollywood as judge, with plenty of names being thrown into the mix. However, it has now been officially confirmed that the queen of innuendo Nigella will be following Prue's footsteps.
