The Great British Baking Show Host Matt Lucas Leaving After 3 Seasons - TVLine

The Great British Baking Show will have to cook up another new co-host: Matt Lucas, who has hosted the Netflix baking competition for the past three seasons, has announced he’s leaving the show.

(The series is titled The Great British Bake Off in the UK.) “It’s been a delicious experience and I can’t imagine a more fun way to spend my summers, but it’s become clear to me that I can’t present both Fantasy Football League and Bake Off alongside all my other projects.

Lucas — a comedian known for the UK sketch series Little Britain — joined Baking Show in Season 11, which aired on Netflix in 2020.

Lucas replaced Sandi Toksvig as co-host alongside Noel Fielding, who has hosted since Season 8.

(Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc hosted the series for the first seven seasons.) A replacement for Lucas has not yet been named.
