Mel Giedroyc taking GCSE to learn second language

Mel Giedroyc wants to take an "online GCSE" course to learn a second language.

The former ‘Great British Bake Off’ host – whose father was half-Polish – admitted she always regretted not being taught to speak another language when she was younger, and she’s keen to continue developing new skills.

She told Prima magazine: "I’m going to learn a new language next. You have to keep your brain active.

"My dad was half-Polish and I was gutted I didn’t grow up bilingual.

"My plan is to start an online GCSE next month. I’m going to take a year or two over it but I’ll complete it."

The 52-year-old star admitted she finds it too difficult to tune into ‘Bake Off’ on Channel 4 after she and Sue Perkins left following its departure from the BBC.

She added: "I haven’t watched since I left. That’s not sour grapes – I wish the show nothing but good. But I can’t go there. It’s too weird – I’m too close to it.

"I’ve never felt bad about the decision but I do have a little pang each year around April time.

"The daffodils and crocuses come out, the weather is a bit chilly and it makes me think of Mary Berry at 7am with her curlers in, just before we head over to the set in the tent… the anticipation of meeting our new bakers and wondering what they’ll be like."

However, Mel doesn’t have any issues with Channel 4 themselves, as she’s set to host new competition series ‘Good With Wood’ on the network.

She recently said: "In the words of Ian Faith, the manager of Spinal Tap, ‘… in the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful.’

"I would add to that by saying that in the topsy-turvy world of 2020 in general, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is pretty much essential.

"So, if you go down to the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise. ‘Good With Wood’ is going to be something we can all lean on. I can’t wait to make like Edward Woodward and get WOODSWARD."
