Great British Bake Off star Paul Hollywood reckons being a judge on the hit TV show has "damaged" him.
The baking supremo opened up on the "downside" to his role in a radio chat, and admitted he'd "think very very carefully" about signing up if he had his time again.

Speaking about the negative reaction he received when Bake Off moved from the BBC to Channel 4, Paul said: "I mean I have grown quite a thick skin now and I sort of brush it off and go, 'whatever it is fine', but it did affect me, yeah for sure and it probably has
