Former Great British Bake-Off presenter Sandi Toksvig has reflected negatively on her time on the hit show, as she revealed she doesn’t stay in touch with her co-host Noel Fielding.

The 66-year-old quit the series in 2020, having presented it for three years and despite receiving “the biggest paycheque of my life”.

In an honest new interview with The Times, Toksvig explained that she did not enjoy her time on the show and doesn’t stay in touch with her co-presenters.

When asked about Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood, she said: “He’s so busy. He drives cars so fast it’s impossible to catch him”. When asked if she was in touch with Might Boosh star Fielding, she said simply: “No.”

She gave a warmer response about judge Prue Leith, saying: “Prue and I are joined at the hip.”

Toksvig, who is also known for hosting QI, described being on Bake Off as “three of the longest years of my life”, adding that she did not understand the point of the show and had never watched it prior to joining.

“It’s not for me. I walked away from the biggest paycheque of my life, but that’s fine. I’d never watched it. I still haven’t watched it. I didn’t understand it.”

Going even further, she said: “Cakes are readily available in the shops. I didn’t enjoy the process. You stand at the end of a long table for hours when Prue and Paul taste everything and we literally didn’t speak or taste anything.

“I used to say, ‘Can we not sit down? I’m not contributing,’ but no.”

She didn’t enjoy tasting the food after filming either, remarking: “Not really. My thing is cheese.”

Pointless presenter and author Richard Osman hit out at Toksvig as he commented on a post about the article, saying: “I honestly don’t think you should present shows you wouldn’t watch.”

Viewers were unnerved by the revelations, as one person wrote: “I loved Sandi on the show, this has tainted it for me.”

“Why take the gig hosting a show you clearly hate?” said another, agreeing with Osman.

However, others defended the comedian as they said, “She is 66 and can happily play the grumpy old lady character that likes a sit-down now.”

HIS get-together looks a scream as The Addams Family film cast reunite more than 30 years on.

Carel Struycken, who played Lurch, Jimmy Workman (Pugsley), Christopher Lloyd (Uncle Fester), Anjelica Huston (Morticia) and Christina Ricci (Wednesday) met up at Los Angeles Comic Con.

The Addams Family, originally a comic strip, was a hit TV series before the movie was released in 1991.

The sequel, Addams Family Values, came out two years later.

Sharing the pics online, Christopher wrote: “The family that haunts together, stays together.”

Raul Julia, who played the role of Addams Family patriarch Gomez, died in 1994.

Raul had been secretly battling stomach cancer for three years before his death and had undergone surgery for it.

There was also a Netflix spin-off, called Wednesday, in 2022.

Thirty years after playing the matriarch of the family, Anjelica Huston looks like she could step right back into the role with ease.

Former child star Christina, 42, was just 11 when she played sullen Wednesday.

The actress has since landed roles in movies such as Now and Then, Sleepy Hollow, Penelope, and last year’s The Matrix Resurrections.

Standing at 7ft tall, Dutch actor Carel, 74, played the role of gentle giant Lurch and has since been typecast because of his distinctive look.

Jimmy, now 41, had an unlikely road to fame when he accompanied his sister who was auditioning for the role of Wednesday.

The then eight-year-old was spotted playing on set by director Barry Sonnenfeld, who asked him to read for the part and promptly cast him as the devious oldest child of the family.

With roles spanning back to the 70s, the 83-year-old Christopher Lloyd has had an enviable Hollywood career.

Before The Addams Family, Christopher had already won major awards and was known for playing Dr Emmett Brown in the Back to the Future films.

Pamela Bozanich, who prosecuted the Menendez brothers’ first trial in 1993, has left Netflix viewers stunned by her fiery comments in a new documentary about the case.

The Menendez Brothers comes hot on the heels of Ryan Murphy’s recent dramatization of the murders of José and Kitty Menendez by their sons Erik and Lyle in 1989.

The new documentary features phone interviews with Erik and Lyle, who have long contended they were victims of sexual abuse from their father, as well as conversations with Kitty Menendez’s family relatives, journalist Robert Rand and Bozanich.

After a former member of the boy band Menudo claimed in 2023 that he was sexually assaulted by José as a child, Erik and Lyle’s case became the subject of countless videos on social media with users calling for a retrial. Murphy has previously admitted that the TikTok and Instagram attention on the case had inspired his series.

“Millions of young people are looking back online and they’re reexamining old news stories from the 90s and 2000s particularly, and looking at them with a fresh set of eyes,” New York Times technology reporter Taylor Lorenz says in the documentary.

Lyle, who has spent the last 34 years in prison, says: “Young people have taken the time to figure out what happened, and they understand it in ways that older people don’t,” he says. “I feel more hope when society seems to be understanding sex abuse even better.”

Bozanich, however, issues a firm rebuttal in the documentary, saying: “The only reason we’re doing this special is because of the TikTok movement to free the ‘Menendi.’

“If that’s how we’re gonna try cases now, why don’t we just, like, have a poll? You present the faces, everybody gets to vote on TikTok, and then we decide who gets to go home.

“Your beliefs are not facts. They’re just beliefs. And by the way, all you TikTok people, I’m armed. We got guns all over the house. So don’t mess with me.”

On X/Twitter, viewers criticized Bozanich’s threatening language. “Pamela Bozanich is a horrible person,” one wrote.

“She got her 15 minutes of fame on this documentary she didn’t have to do that interview and then to tell TikTokers to not come after her and she had guns! Disgusting behavior!”

Another wrote: “Just finished the menendez brothers documentary… firstly, i loved hearing from the brothers themselves. i cannot express how much they deserved better. second, f*** pamela bozanich. she pissed me off so badly.”

“Pamela bozanich still taking digs at leslie abramson after 35 years is insane behavior actually,” a third added, referencing the Menendez brothers’ defense attorney.

Erik and Lyle’s first trials ended with two deadlocked juries as they were both tried separately. In the second trial, both brothers were convicted on two counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to murder, and sentenced to life in prison.

Now, in 2024, new evidence has emerged that has the potential to set them free.

Last week, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced that his office is reviewing possible evidence included in petitions filed by the brothers last year. The new information will be discussed at a hearing scheduled for November 26.

The Menendez Brothers is streaming now on Netflix.
