Paul Hollywood and Greg Wallace

I can't see why it's anybody's business - except his wife's - if a presenter has had an affair.

If it's true that Mary Berry made the remark "boys will be boys", I think that's a better reason for sacking someone. (calm down, I'm joking!). Firstly, we're not talking about boys but men and, secondly, such comments have been used to justify all sorts of predatory male behaviour on the grounds that, poor things, "they just can't help themselves".

I read somewhere that she did not say it at all, but a reporter inserted it into a report of an interview with her. I think it was in the Radio Times.

Not the interview, the mention of the interview.

I wonder if they ever stop and think their lucrative contracts might be in jeapordy though?

They won't be the first celebs to find themseves on a slippery slope if the ratings fall.

The only thing I can think of when I see these reports of these two having affairs and evidently being irresistable to women, is that I must be quite odd (o.k. I am!), because I do not find either of them particularly good-looking, or attractive in their attitude. I don't think their private lives should affect their salaries, but I do not think they deserve what they are paid, certainly the case with Greg, and one wonders if it is the salary rather than the man that attracts.

"So what attracted you to the multi millionaire Paul Daniels?"

"Oh! is he rich then?"

Whenever I see Paul Daniels I think of that Mrs Merton interview with the hapless Debbie McGee! I can see that there's something vaguely attractive about PH, (in a reptilian way!), but GW! yuk!

I loved the winner of a caption competition in the Mail yesterday. It had Mary Berry saying to PH, 'Shall we leave the hot Mexican Tart until later in the show?'

Actually however rude we are about Paul Daniells and Debbie they have stayed together haven't they?

I'm going to be waiting hopefully for the Hot Mexican Tart In every show now!

Oh I don't think we're being rude at all about PD! I also admire that fact they've stayed together for so long!

You are quite right about Paul and Debbie, and they often poked fun at themselves didn't they, which always helps when others are making odd remarks as they did at one time. I have no idea what the Hot Mexican Tart is all about, don't watch the programme, but find I have gone off Mary Berry. I used to watch her afternoon programmes in the distant past, and enjoyed those, but she seems to have got stardust in her eyes recently. Fair enough she is doing a grand job, and still looks good, but being over-commercialised I think. I am a right old misery this morning

The Hot Mexican Tart is a reference to Paul Hollywood's affair with his co-presenter of the American version of Bake Off. It flopped and his wife is divorcing him.
