Prue Leith – On leaving Bake Off and finding love again at 70

NEW SERIES: Award-winning Radio 4 broadcaster and Daily Mail columnist Jenni Murray discovers life lessons from living legends.  Dame Prue Leith has lived an eventful life. She blagged her way into cookery school, built a Michelin-starred restaurant from scratch, wrote sixteen cookery books and eight novels, and spent nearly a decade of British summers in a marquee judging cakes on The Great British Bake Off. Along the way she turned herself into one of the most recognisable and outspoken figures in the country. In this episode of Experience is Everything, Prue sits down with Jenni to talk about why she walked away from one of the best jobs on television, the complicated love story that began when she fell for her mother’s best friend’s husband, and why she has become one of the most passionate advocates for legalising assisted dying. She also reflects on the unexpected joys of later life, and why falling in love in your seventies can feel surprisingly like being a teenager again. • Saga Insurance exclusively designed for people over 50.
