The 'horrific' experience that almost derailed Bake Off legend Prue Leith's entire TV career - before major showbiz U-turn
Prue Leith is one of the foremost celebrity chefs currently on our screens. The Cordon Bleu-trained cook, 85, started out in catering, before opening a Michelin-starred restaurant in Notting Hill and a school for budding chefs. She is also a prolific cookbook writer, columnist and author, publishing cookbooks, novels - and her 2013 tell-all memoir Relish. All this while sustaining a near 60-year TV career, judging BBC 's Great British Menu, and, more famously, The Great British Bake Off, replacing Mary Berry when the show moved to Channel 4 in 2017. But despite her now huge success, one major moment at the start of her career meant it all nearly did not happen. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Her first foray into telly came in the seventies, presenting a show for housewives for Tyne Tees Television, the precursor to the ITV franchise for North East England. But Prue said she had such a 'horrific' experience, it left her close to abandoning a career in TV altogether. She told Candis Magazine: 'With no previous presenting experience, it would be fair to say I wasn't a natural. 'I was very bad at it and didn't enjoy it at all. I think [the show] died a death.' The ordeal put her off entirely - and for years after this, she did virtually no TV work. In fact, despite receiving offers to make further appearances, she turned most of them down in this period. Instead, the cook chose to feature as a guest on a handful of documentaries in the eighties on topics that interested her. But everything changed in the early noughties, when her beloved husband, South African author and property developer Rayne Kruger, died in 2002, aged 80. The tragedy saw her join the panel on Great British Menu, which sees the country's best chefs compete for the chance to cook a course at a prestigious meal - for diners ranging from royals, to ambassadors, to veterans. Prue adored being part of the programme - and stayed for 11 years, until her departure for Bake Off. And now, not only do viewers love to watch the baker, along with her iconic funky jewellery, in Britain - she has won the hearts of audiences across the pond too. As The Great British Bake Off has proved popular with stateside viewers, it got its own American spin-off, The Great American Baking Show, in 2015. Prue's GBBO colleague Paul Hollywood had simultaneously been a part of the American iteration since 2017 - and she joined him in 2022. With both the British and American versions of the series to enjoy in the USA, Prue now always gets stopped in the street when visiting the country: 'I get asked if I am that lady from the baking show.' Her judging schedule is packed to the rafters - and it meant she stepped down from judging the celebrity version of the baking competition this year. She was replaced by her friend Lady Caroline Waldegrave, the managing director of Leiths School Of Food And Wine - which Prue founded. The celebrity chef (pictured with fellow judge Paul last month) has previously said it was simply to get a break from back-to-back filming The celebrity chef has previously said it was simply to get a break from back-to-back filming - aged 85, she wants to travel, have days off and spend time with her husband. She tied the knot with fashion designer John Playfair, 77, in 2016. Speaking to journalist Holly Rubenstein on her podcast The Travel Diaries, Prue said: 'I haven't got much longer, I'm 85, I want to spend as much time as I can with him.' The constant travelling to the US puts a strain on her: '[My agent] doesn't quite say, "She needs a carer", but it's pretty close.' Praising John, she gushed: 'One of the wonderful things about him is that he is totally without ego, he doesn't feel threatened by the fact that I have a higher profile than he does. 'When I introduce him [to people], he always just says, "I'm the handbag carrier, I'm her chauffeur".' Last year, Prue and John shared the details of the start of their relationship during a sweet joint appearance on Loose Women. The chef revealed she bolted from their first meeting at a dinner party at a friend's house. When she first arrived, there were only two men and two women there, including John, making it obvious it was a double date set-up - which she was put off by. The TV personality said she made her excuses to leave as quickly as she could, never anticipating what would happen next. Prue revealed the following day, John turned up on her doorstep - and he admitted during the Loose Women interview he instantly 'knew she was the one'. The chef quipped: 'I paid him to say that.' Prue also said her husband is the inspiration behind her eye-catching outfits: 'Colour is influenced by you... 'I ask for John's advice and he always says, "No, it's not enough - bigger earrings or more colour. 'He pushes me further. It's great because most women who hit 50 think they have to wear grey and I think you need colour.' Prue has also previously spoken out about the 13-year affair she had with her late first husband Rayne. She revealed their long marriage started as an affair, after she fell for her mother's best friend's husband. The baker decided to speak out about the experience in her 2013 memoir. She said on the White Wine Question Time podcast several years ago she had no desire to be 'discreet' about her personal life. Prue told presenter, journalist Kate Thornton: 'If there are things in your life you're not exactly proud of, but they would be interesting to the reader, you should try to tackle them. 'I thought, "You know, to skip it, when Rayne was the most important person in my life... how could I not tell his whole story?" So I did.' Prue, born in Cape Town, worked with Rayne while he was married to the late South African actress Nan Munro - Prue's mother's best friend. 'I never asked him to leave his wife because I was very happy,' she explained of their affair. 'I had none of the duties of life and all of the pleasures of somebody who loved me. I wasn't pressing for marriage. 'We did have 13 secret years and nobody ever guessed because we were discreet. 'But it was easier in a way because he was a family friend, chairman of my company, and he had helped me enormously and everyone knew we were great friends.' Eventually Rayne left his wife, who was 17 years his senior, to start a life and a family with Prue. They have a daughter, Li-Da Kruger, who they adopted from Cambodia. She is now a filmmaker. They also share son Danny Kruger, now the Conservative MP for East Wiltshire.

EastEnders' Bradley Branning star unrecognisable with different job 15 years on
Charlie Clements, who played Bradley Branning in EastEnders has undergone a dramatic transformation since departing the soap, and has now switched his career entirely Charlie Clements has undergone a remarkable transformation, now sporting glasses and a beard, a stark contrast to his on-screen EastEnders persona. The actor who brought Bradley Branning to life started on the BBC One soap in 2006 before leaving in February 2010. Charlie 's dramatic exit from EastEnders took place in its first-ever live episode, marking the show's 25th anniversary, where his character fell to his death from the Queen Vic's roof while being chased by the police. Bradley had pledged to protect his wife Stacey after she murdered her rapist Archie Mitchell, and the couple had devised a plan to flee together. However, their getaway plan went disastrously wrong when Bradley attempted to scale The Vic to dodge the police. His hasty escape attempt ended in tragedy, leaving his wife a widow and sending shockwaves through Walford. The groundbreaking episode captivated nearly 20 million viewers. Over a decade after his EastEnders days, Charlie decided to step away from acting, admitting that, like everyone else, he needs to "pay his bills". In May 2024, he announced to his Instagram followers: "Aware that some may be less interested in my golf related activities! But for those who are go follow me at @charlieclementsgolf." His dedicated golf page showcases his new life as a greenkeeper, featuring photos of him honing his golf swing. In a recent post, the ex-soap star revealed: "In my career as an actor I've had some incredible opportunities and moments.. "But since starting out as a Greenkeeper a year ago, this is up there with the best of them... Touching the hallowed turf of Centre!" Known as the unsung heroes of the golfing world, greenkeepers play a vital role in preserving the game's manicured greens and fairways, overseeing tasks from smoothing out sand traps to grooming the plants that border the course. Charlie was recognised for his work during his time on EastEnders, scooping the Most Popular Newcomer award at the 2006 National Television Awards. Following his dramatic departure from EastEnders, Charlie continued to make his mark in the entertainment industry. He played Jake O'Reilly in Casualty and in 2017, he appeared in the documentary Elizabeth and Her Enemies, portraying the Earl of Essex. Off-screen, Charlie married his long-term girlfriend, Rebecca Clatworthy, in 2018 and the pair have three children. In addition to his acting prowess, Charlie has a keen eye for photography, frequently sharing photos of landscapes and nature on his Instagram page. However, like many during the pandemic, Charlie faced the need to adapt. During the lockdowns, he temporarily put his acting career on hold to support his family. He worked in a restaurant during the initial lockdown and later at a garden centre during the second. Speaking candidly on Loose Women, the actor explained: "Acting is my first love and career choice, but at the end of the day, I'm a jobbing actor. I've got bills to pay and a family to support like everyone else." Back in February, Charlie reflected on his EastEnders success on Instagram, writing: "Reminded today that 'I died' 15 years ago today which makes that little thing even older.!!! As EE turns 40 I remind myself how fortunate I was to work on such an institution at such a young age and will be forever thankful to those to who made it possible." He concluded: "Happy birthday EE, I am immensely proud to have been a small part of you."

Meghan Markle doesn't care if Brit 'haters' winced at her twerking birth video
While most people were delighted to see it the candid video shared by Meghan Markle - others were less impressed as Meghan got some backlash over her dodgy dancing with Harry Meghan Markle's video of her twerking in the delivery room before daughter Lilibet's birth divided fans this week but she seems to have put the embarrassment behind her. To honour her daughter's fourth birthday Meghan posted the video on her Instagram account this week- giving fans an inside glimpse of the day the young princess was born. Prince Harry also featured in the video wth a twerking Meghan Markle in the delivery room before Princess Lilibet was born in 2021. The candid moment shows Meghan in the late stages of her pregnancy, dancing around a hospital room to the song Baby Mama with Harry by her side, in an attempt to induce her labour. Alongside the divisive video, Meghan wrote: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" Despite the backlash over her dodgy dancing with Harry to the soundtrack of Starrkeisha's Baby Mama song, defiant Meghan is thrilled by the reaction in America. A source told MailOnline: "Meghan doesn't care about the haters in Britain calling her vulgar. Americans thought the twerking video was hilarious and relatable." One person wrote on X: "Oh my. That's really just awful," while another user joked: "They are cringe to the max… I feel nauseous." Others claimed the Sussexes were making a mockery of their royal titles by sharing the video, with one writing: "Good grief, these people have titles. Ruining the reputation and respect of the Royal Family, one Instagram post at a time." However, others sharing their thoughts on the video, praisied their fun and caring relationship and were delighted to see it. One person voiced their support Harry and Meghan, writing on X: 'This is everything! Harry on beat and Meghan dropping it like it's hot. They look like they have so much fun together.' A source close to the Sussexes added: "Meghan is very pleased with the video. In the UK everyone's reaction has been a bit prudish but everywhere else, particularly in America and especially with young people, it has been a huge hit." Meghan is about to launch a series of new products as part of her As Ever line – including rosé wine. The source added: "She and her team count it [the video] as a 'win', which can only be a boost for sales. Her new products are marketed at Americans and not at the UK market." Meghan and Harry celebrated Lilibet's fourth birthday on Wednesday, with Meghan posting a series of unseen family photos to her Instagram account to celebrate the special day. Meghan shared a black-and-white snap of herself cuddling Lili, while they both sported windswept hair as they sat together seemingly on a boat.
