The world-renowned chef and TV icon said in a statement that she is “bubbling with excitement” to be joining the series.
In a statement, Lawson said she was “uncharacteristically rather lost for words right now!”
Revealing her verdict on her replacement, Leith said she was "thrilled that Nigella is to experience brilliant Bake Off. She’s sassy, fun and she knows her onions — and her croissants, cake and crumble.”
The cookery writer and restaurateur stepped down from the role for the programme’s Stand Up to Cancer celebrity spin-off back in 2024, with Lady Caroline Waldegrave taking her place.
She added: "But now feels like the right time to step back (I’m 86 for goodness sake!), there’s so much I’d like to do, not least spend summers enjoying my garden. Whoever joins the team, I’m sure they’ll love it as much as I have. I feel very lucky to have been part of it."
