Paul Hollywood has scolded Nigella Lawson over her controversial behaviour on The Great British Bake Off.<\/p>\n
The TV baker reportedly advised his fellow judge to take smaller mouthfuls while tasting contestants’ creations on the hit Channel 4 show.<\/p>\n
Ms Lawson, who recently joined the judging panel alongside Paul Hollywood after taking over from Dame Prue Leith, revealed the exchange during an interview with Woman’s Weekly.<\/p>\n
The Oxford University graduate admitted she initially struggled with the amount of food she was expected to taste while filming the baking competition.<\/p>\n

Speaking about her experience on the programme, she said: “At the beginning, when there were all the bakers there, I did feel I was challenging my system.”<\/p>\n
Despite the challenge, the celebrity cook said she was unwilling to compromise when it came to properly judging the bakes.<\/p>\n
She added: “But I like to be able to taste things properly. I’m an eater.”<\/p>\n
Ms Lawson went on to explain that she asked Mr Hollywood how he copes with sampling so many cakes, pastries and desserts during the series.<\/p>\n

Recalling the conversation, she said: “I did actually implore Paul: ‘Gosh, how do you manage all that?’ He said: ‘Well, you could take smaller mouthfuls.’ And I realised no, I couldn’t.”<\/p>\n
Ms Lawson’s debut came last week, with her second outing being aired on Tuesday (September 29) as the latest season gets fully underway on Channel 4.<\/p>\n
Ms Lawson studied medieval and modern languages at Lady Margaret Hall, part of the University of Oxford, before going on to become one of Britain’s most recognisable food writers and television personalities.<\/p>\n
The celebrity chef has often spoken about her time in Oxford, where she completed her degree before beginning a successful career in journalism, publishing and broadcasting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
