The female hosts of The Great British Bake Off, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, nearly left the show on the very first day of filming because they were deeply concerned about the producers' vision for the series.
Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins revealed that they initially resigned on the first day due to fears that the show's producers intended to make it more intrusive and crueler than they were comfortable with. This concern about the potential direction and tone of the show led them to quit before their seven-series tenure truly began. Despite this early conflict, they ultimately stayed with the program for its initial run on the BBC.
