Briony May Williams

After years of baking at home and cultivating her creativity and skill, Briony first came to the public’s attention as she launched onto our screens during nine stressful weeks in the tent on the 2018 series of The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4.

Progressing through the competition to the semi-final, Briony’s humour and warmth, coupled with her resilience and ingenuity saw her become a firm favourite with the audience.

Dame Prue Leith

Dame Prue Leith made her name with her Michelin-starred restaurant Leith’s, and Leith’s school of Food and Wine which she sold in 1995. She has written sixteen cookery books, eight novels, and her memoir was published in 2013. She has worked as a columnist for the Daily Mail, the Sunday Express, the Guardian and the Daily Mirror. Her first television appearance was in the 1970s as a presenter, and she returned to television to be a judge on The Great British Menu for 11 years. Last year her ten-part cookery series Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen aired on ITV1, and she is currently filming her third series. Nothing if not adventurous, earlier this year she appeared in The Masked Singer as “Pegasus”, and over the last two years has 'walked’ for the designers Vin and Omi in London Fashion week, once wearing a ‘bondage’ latex dress, and once a gown made of recycled RAF parachute silk. Prue Leith has most recently been on our screens in the sixteenth series of The Great British Bake Off, for which she has been a judge since 2017
