Paul Hollywood gets drunk with Mary Berry.
‘The Great British Bake Off’ star has revealed he often goes out drinking with his fellow judge, Mary, 79, after a long day of filming the hit BBC cooking show.
He told new! magazine: "When we do ‘Bake Off’ it’s so chilled. It’s quite relaxing. It is long hours and a very long day but we go out and get drunk together."
However, the 48-year-old star insists they doesn’t socialise with the contestants outside of filming to avoid favouritism.
But the pair do send the show’s co-hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins to to provide words of support to the hopefuls.
He explained: "We stay in different hotels. I’m there to judge what is on the plate. I’m not there to chat.
"I’m constructive. I will tell them how to do it and make it if I feel it could have been done better."
Mary added: "There’s no favouritism. We’re are there to judge. If a baker is having problems, we’ll sometimes send Mel and Sue over to comfort them. We can’t tell them what to do."
