Paul Hollywood, 58, takes young lover Summer Monteys-Fullam, 23, on luxury Alps break after Mary Berry snub
PAUL Hollywood has taken his young lover on a luxury winter break — after she was left upset by a snub from his ex-Bake Off co-star Mary Berry.
The Sun revealed last week that Mary, 83, had given Summer Monteys-Fullam the cold shoulder at an event.
Summer, 23, moaned to friends “why is everyone so mean to me” — so Paul, 52, took her on a romantic ski holiday to the Swiss Alps to cheer her up.
They have been seen dining in local restaurants and, according to one onlooker, looked “madly in love”.
A source said: “They were holding hands wherever they went and kissing over the table at dinner.
“A lot of people have doubted them but their relationship is the real deal. She genuinely cares for him.”
The couple have been holed up in a five-star log cabin in Verbier.
Paul told Summer the hastily arranged break was also a chance for them to mark 18 months together.
He drove her there in his £90,000 Range Rover Sport so they could take in the scenery on the way.
They have been using saunas and steam rooms after walks in the snow and yesterday beamed with happiness as they hauled ski gear around.
Paul and his ex-wife Alex, 54, split in 2017 after 20 years together. Alex blamed Summer for the marriage breakdown, accusing her of seeing Paul behind her back — claims which Paul denies. Lawyers are in talks over his £10million fortune.
Paul’s former co-star Mary is close to Alex and ignored Summer at the Good Food Show at the NEC in Birmingham and refused to go on stage with Paul or be pictured with him.
A source at the event said: “You could cut the tension with a knife.”
