The Michelin-starred chef appeared on The Shift with Same Baker, where she discussed her career and the reasoning behind her exit.
Leith revealed that she had actually been considering leaving the Bake Off franchise for over two years. “I just thought, you know, I'd like to have more time off in the summer,” she said. “So, two years ago, I wrote to them just saying, "Look, I need more time off and I need I haven't had a summer holiday for eight years or something. So, I really think I better if I stop.’
However, producer offered her an alternative. ‘Why don't you just give up one, preferably celebrity, because that would give you the middle of the summer off.’ So, I said, ‘Great!’
That’s exactly what she did, until a recent vacation shifted her perspective.
“There was no jet skis, no motorboats, no bars, no music. It was just peaceful and lovely. And I thought, I really need more of this,” she said.
“I realized that if I went on I would be unlikely to get a holiday in Italy or in France or in Portugal or in Spain or all of these other wonderful locations.”
Ultimately, Leith said the transition has been a positive one. “Everything worked out for the best, “they were fine about it and they've got the wonderful Nigella so everyone is happy.”
As Parade previously reported, Nigella Lawson has been positioned to replace Leith in the upcoming season of Bake Off airing later this year.
