The mother of Paul Hollywood's girlfriend has posted a video about a row in a branch of Marks & Spencer involving her daughter and Mr Hollywood's ex-wife, Alex, claiming the older woman started the fight.
Summer Monteys-Fullam's sister Saskia posted the Instagram video in response to the incident last week in which Alex Hollywood, 54, is alleged to have hurled foul-mouthed insults at Summer, 23, including calling the younger woman a 'sl*t' and a 'wh*re'.
