Fans of the BBC show were left in mourning after she quit the show in September, following in the footsteps of presenters Mel and Sue.

In a statement, she said: “What a privilege and honour it has been to be part of 7 years of magic in a tent – The Great British Bake Off.

“The Bake Off family – Paul, Mel and Sue have given me so much joy and laughter.

“My decision to stay with the BBC is out of loyalty to them, as they have nurtured me, and the show, that was a unique and brilliant format from day one.

“I am just sad for the audience who may not be ready for change, I hope they understand my decision.

“I wish the programme, crew and future bakers every possible success and I am so very sad not to be a part of it.

“Farewell to soggy bottoms.”

In November the BBC confirmed that she would have a new show following her departure from the Great British Bake Off.

Mary beat Len Goodman to be crowned Best Judge at the NTAs in January and couldn't contain her joy at winning.

It was revealed in February that Prue Leith would take over as judge on Channel 4.
