Bake Off's Prue Leith left 'blushing' after husband makes cheeky remark live on air
The Great British Bake Off star Prue Leith appeared on This Morning on Friday with her husband, John Playfair
Prue Leith's husband, John Playfair, had a cheeky ten-word quip about his wife's bold latex ensemble.
The Great British Bake Off judge appeared on This Morning with her husband of nine years this Friday (May 9).
Prue spoke to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary about her new cooking series, Prue Leith's Cotswolds Kitchen.
The programme follows Prue as she cooks some of her all-time favourite dishes in her own kitchen in the Cotswolds, with John making regular appearances.
However, the conversation soon shifted to Prue's unexpected fashion moment last year. In September 2024, she swapped her usual attire for a striking look at London Fashion Week.
Donning a black leather dress with red stitching and lengthy latex gloves, Prue turned heads on the runway for Vin + Omi's 20th-anniversary event, reports Gloucestershire Live.
Her outfit was complemented by vibrant red lipstick, edgy short hair, and dramatic black eye makeup.
"What did you make of our Prue in latex when she swapped the kitchen for the catwalk?" Alison asked John on today's This Morning.
With a succinct ten-word response, John said that he "wanted the costume to go in our dressing up box," with a shocked Alison adding: "There's a dressing up box! Which one is that in?"
Dermot chimed in, praising how "great" Prue looked, while the chef herself admitted: "I'm actually blushing. You can't take him anywhere."
Discussing how she ended up on the catwalk, Prue revealed: "I met Omi on the train and we got chatting, and that night I said to John, 'We're going to go to dinner with these two guys, I met one of them on the train'.
"Vin and Omi are designers, and their great mission in life is to get the fashion trade to be more sustainable and so that's what they do.
"They help companies become more sustainable, but they also design amazing clothes and every six months they have a show. I've now walked for them, as they say."
Alison was quick to compliment Prue on her catwalk skills, saying she "walked very well", to which Prue humorously responded: "I can't do that wonderful model's walk where they put their hips forward and they look bored."
