Former star Sue Perkins said the TV judge, 86, was booked into a £25 a night youth hostel.

“Bake Off can now only be seen from the perspective of massive success,” said Comic Sue, 52, who co-hosted the hit show with comedian partner Mel Giedroyc, 53, from 2010 to 2016, when it moved to Channel 4:

“But we’ve been there since its inception, when Barry’s Burger catering carts were at home, when we were in a youth hostel at £25 a night – and Mary Berry had bed bugs.

“We were a traveling show and the team had to pitch the tent.”

She recalls complaining about the long days: “We used to spend 16 or 17 hours a day interviewing people in the tent who were Anglo-Saxon experts about why rabbits’ feet were put in a sponge in the 12th century.

But it has dramatically evolved from the intense documentary about food into the much-loved program it is now.

“We had a makeup artist paint a raspberry and magenta lipstick in one series.

“I looked like I had been dragged from a river bank, I looked like a corpse spotted on a corpse.”

Sue added in the Full Disclosure podcast: “Bake Off started making people cry.

This is our only contribution and it seems to be a very minor one, but if it has an impact I am very happy with it.”
