The 58-year-old, best known for being a judge on the Great British Bake Off in the UK, has come under fire after his statement sent shockwaves through our cake-loving nation.
Celebrity chef Paul Hollywood has sent left Bake Off fans reeling after claiming one of the most iconic British cakes 'doesn't exist'.
The classic strawberry jam-filled treat is a staple when it comes to celebratory food and is loved by royals, including the Princess of Wales. The Victoria Sponge divide has come back into the limelight after baking legend Paul nailed his flag to the sandwich post. The origins of the cake can be traced back to Queen Victoria's reign, with Food historian Alysa Levene claiming in her 2016 book 'Cake: A Slice of History' that the Queen was particularily fond of this simple cake and enjoyed a slice with her afternoon cup of tea.
A poll of 2,000 adults revealed chocolate cake and carrot cake in second and third place, followed by lemon drizzle.
