FORMER Bake Off star Ruby Tandoh says her dislike of the show is now so intense, even hearing the familiar theme tune makes her “feel sick”.

The 29-year-old cook appeared on the baking show in 2013, famously falling out with judge Paul Hollywood afterwards - and she can no longer “have anything to do with it”.

Asked if she still watches it, Ruby said: “No, not at all. No, I can’t. I appreciate it as a show, I think the format is clearly compelling, but no. 

“When I hear the little song, the little jingle at the start, I feel sick. I can’t have anything to do with it, I’m afraid.”

During her time on the show there was speculation that Paul was flirting with her, but the pair later came to blows a number of times on Twitter - until he blocked her.

Among other insults Ruby branded Paul a “walking gammon joint” and a “peacocking man child”, but she say she has no regrets.

Speaking on the How To Fail podcast she admitted: “I don’t particularly lose sleep over that. I don’t think that he’s particularly hurt by that. I don’t think he’s very vulnerable to the judgment of others, so yeah, that I don’t feel too bad about.”

Shortly after appearing on the show, Ruby came out as bisexual and tweeted: “For those who thought I fancied Paul Hollywood or that I'd ever bang him to get ahead – JOKE'S ON YOU, YOU MASSIVE S**TTING MISOGYNISTS.”

Paul responded asking her: “Very happy for you Ruby... but why do you feel it necessary bringing me into your announcement?"
