Paul Hollywood appears to be getting settled down with barmaid lover Melissa Spalding amid reports he has asked her to move in with him.
The 54-year-old Bake Off judge has been dating 36-year-old Melissa since late last year – and following the collapse of his romance with 25-year-old barmaid Summer Monteys-Fullam.
Paul reportedly fell for Melissa after drinking in her boozer not far from his countryside home – before striking up a romance with the landlady.
And according to reports, the brunette beauty has been spotted on numerous occasions at the pepper haired TV show host’s Kent home as he prepares to enter a social “bubble” of Bake Off stars, crew and contestants.
A source told The Sun: “Paul loves having Melissa around and they’ve been great company for each other in lockdown.
“When things started to ease, it was the obvious decision for her to be there more and now it seems as though she has actually moved in.
“Unfortunately, he’s going to be away for a good few weeks. But he and Melissa are really happy together.”
Paul and Melissa were first linked in September last year – just months after he split with Summer who he dated for two years from 2017.
He was previously married to chef Alex Hollywood – who was drawn in to headlines over her public clashes with Summer.
Meanwhile, plans are apace for The Great British Bake Off to go ahead this year despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The show is due to go on with all involved entering a bubble while filming takes place in Essex.
Fellow judge Prue Leith is expected to return – despite being “at risk” of the COVID-19 virus due to her age of 80.
While show host Noel Fielding will be joined by new co-host Matt Lucas following the departure of Sandi Toksvig.
