Paul Hollywood has revealed that he not only managed to avoid the temptation to binge on oven-fresh delicacies on the Great British Bake Off, but actually lost weight. The GBBO judge told the Radio Times: "I stress out. I've lost a stone and a bit in the past eight months just through work." However, he does manage to relax with the odd night in: "I have a bath or shower, wrap my dressing gown around me. I sit down in front of Top Gear, putting my fork through a puff pastry, and I'm in Happyville." In contrast, Bake Off co-host Mel Giedroyc says she puts on weight during filming: "I've put on a good 11lb every series. The first couple of episodes it's 'No thank you, not for me.' Cut to the semi-final and we're hoofing up whole quiches."
