Paul Hollywood will join The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4, he has announced.

Co-host Mary Berry and presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins had already announced that they would not make the move away from the BBC.

Hollywood, 50, said: “I am delighted that I will be continuing as a judge when Bake Off moves to Channel 4.

“I want to thank the BBC and Mel and Sue for making my time in the tent great fun and really rewarding.”

Earlier today, Mary Berry announced she would not be moving to Channel 4, due to a loyalty to the BBC.

She said: “What a privilege and honour it has been to be part of 7 years of magic in a tent – The Great British Bake Off. The Bake Off family – Paul, Mel and Sue have given me so much joy and laughter.

“My decision to stay with the BBC is out of loyalty to them, as they have nurtured me, and the show, that was a unique and brilliant format from day one. I am just sad for the audience who may not be ready for change, I hope they understand my decision.

“I wish the programme, crew and future bakers every possible success and I am so very sad not to be a part of it.

She signed off: “Farewell to soggy bottoms.”
