Paul Hollywood has spoken out after offending viewers during Mexican Week on The Great British Bake Off. 🗣 'There’s not a bad bone in any of the bodies of anyone connected with Bake Off that would want to upset Mexico.'
Contestants proceeded to create a pan dulce for The Signature, tacos for The Technical, and a tres leches cake for The Showstopper.
The celebrity chef, 56, and his fellow judge, Dame Prue Leith, 82, were asked about the episode during an interview with Eater.He said: ‘I’d literally come back from Mexico about three weeks before we filmed the episode. I spent a month over there with Mexican chefs, working with tacos and enjoying the food in Tijuana and Mexico City and Oaxaca and Cancun. I was all over the place, and we set the challenges based on what I’d seen there. The challenges were very good, and everyone did a good job.
