A spectacular row broke out between Paul Hollywood's estranged wife and his new 23-year-old lover while both were shopping in Marks & Spencer, it has been reported.
Alex Hollywood, 54, is alleged to have hurled foul-mouthed insults at Summer Monteys-Fullam when the two bumped into each other at a store in Canterbury, Kent on Tuesday.
That's according to The Sun, which has claimed that witnesses heard Alex - who married baker Paul in 1998 - throwing insults including 'sl*t' and 'wh*re' at the 52-year-old's new lover.

Speaking to the paper, one witness claimed to have heard Alex telling Summer: 'Do you know how much you've hurt my son?'
While a stunned onlooker is reported to have said: 'I was totally disgusted by the language. She called the younger woman a sl*t and wh*re.
'It's just not the sort of behaviour you expect at Marks and Sparks.'
The Marks & Spencer fracas is even alleged to have resulted in police being called, having initially started at the checkout before spilling out into the car park.
With a friend of Alex telling The Sun: 'The other women started verbally abusing her. Alex was shaken and called the police.'

Kent Police confirmed to the newspaper that it had been sent to reports of a disturbance, with a spokesman saying: 'Enquiries were carried out in which all parties involved were given words of advice.'
The Sun also reported that a spokesman for Alex had confirmed an 'unpleasant incident' at a supermarket, and that one for Paul had declined to comment.
Alex and Paul, who have a 16-year-old son together, announced their split in November 2017.
In an interview with today's Daily Mail Weekend magazine, Alex said it was 'hard to stay married these days' because modern couples do not treat the union with as much sanctity as their parents' generation.
