Nigella Lawson has joined Paul Hollywood as a new Great British Bake Off judge, prompting fresh interest in their on-screen chemistry
Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding say differing tastes can make disagreements entertaining, though the judges ultimately find common ground
Rumours of friction had circulated before the launch, including claims that Lawson disliked Hollywood’s helicopter commute and that they appeared distant at a Channel 4 event
Lawson, a home baker rather than a professional, described the new role as a major but enjoyable challenge.
