Prue Leith is reportedly set to become a star stateside as she will join Paul Hollywood on the American version of The Great British Bake Off.
According to The Mirror, the cook, 81, will film six episodes of The Great American Baking Show and a celebrity special later this year.
The show has not aired in the US since January 2020 before the pandemic and it is now moving from ABC to streaming service The Roku Channel.

The move comes as a surprise as Prue previously said that Americans find the hugely popular series quaint and 'can't understand' it.
Speaking on Loose Women, she said: 'All their competition shows are aggressive and competitors diss each other and try to get ahead.
'They can’t understand that Bake Off, or The Baking Show, has no prize apart from winning.'
Paul has been a judge on the US version for the last three seasons along American chef Cherry Yard while Anthony Adams and Emma Bunton serve as hosts.
