BAKE Off judge Prue Leith accidently let slip that two stars of the upcoming celebrity series didn’t get along.

The 84-year-old started opening up Rev Richard Coles and Sara Cox failing to see eye to eye during an interview on The One Show – but quickly stopped herself before she said too much.

Asked about the new line-up, Prue sighed: “Oh we had everyone there.

“But the ones I remember enjoying most is we had the Reverend Coles and Sara Cox together and it was very odd because they just… I don’t know sometimes it just gels and sometimes people get on together well and um…”

She then stopped herself and there was a very awkward pause before presenter Roman Kemp swiftly moved the conversation on.

Those watching at home clocked Prue’s comment and asked: “Was she saying the rev coles and Sara Cox didn't get on?”


Someone replied: “I think she was about to say that? Now I need to know!!”

And someone else added: “So awkward.”

The Stand Up To Cancer line-up also includes former Eastender Danny Dyer, Spice Girl Mel B and Dermot O'leary, along with a host of TV personalities including Oti Mabuse, Gabby Logan, Spencer Matthews, Vinka Bokinni, plus actors Joe Locke and Jodie Whittaker.

From the world of music and radio come Greg James and Paloma Faith.

Meanwhile, comedians Adam Hills, David O'doherty, Fern Brady, Leigh Francis, Munya Chawawa, Rhod Gilbert and Suzi Ruffell will bring the laughs when the series is screened later this year on channel 4.

Prue later caused chaos on The One Show as she let slip an expletive and was scolded by Alex Jones.
