The presenter leaves the tent after three series helping oversee signature bakes and show stoppers.
Matt Lucas has said "farewell" to the Great British Bake Off tent, as the comedian confirmed he was stepping down as a presenter of the show.
In his statement, Lucas said the decision came after trying to balance the requirements of Bake Off and other projects such as Sky Max comedy Fantasy Football League. "I wish whoever takes over all the very best and I can't wait to tune into the next series without already knowing who won!" Love Productions, which makes the programme, said it was thankful to Lucas for his work on the show, including during Covid, "which required a great sacrifice and an enormous dollop of humour".
