Bake Off: The Professionals fans beg ‘bring back Stacey Solomon!’ as they rip into host Ellie Taylor’s outfit
BAKE Off: The Professionals fans have begged for Stacey Solomon’s return.
Stacey, 33, co-hosted the Channel 4 show for one series last year before being replaced by comedian Ellie Taylor.
Ellie, 39, has shown off her quirky sense of style on a number of occasions while presenting the show, but her latest ensemble didn’t impress everyone at home.
During Tuesday’s show, Ellie wore a red retro-style mini dress which featured exaggerated puff sleeves, pink heart buttons and a pink trim at the neckline.
She completed the look with nude tights featuring little red hearts and had her brown hair styled in a chic up do with a few tendrils around her face.
But taking to X – formerly Twitter – some Bake Off viewers shared their bafflement at the ensemble.
One wrote: “Why was @EllieJaneTaylor dressed like the Kings Guard?”
Another added alongside a gif of Gordon Ramsay putting his head in his hands: “Ellie. Great presenter but her outfit.”
A third tweeted: “Have we established yet why Ellie is dressed like a Jammy Dodger biscuit?”
Meanwhile a fourth meanly wrote: “Please bring back @StaceySolomon, @EllieJaneTaylor is so annoying.”
Last month, Ellie confessed to stealing sweet treats from the show’s secret store cupboards.
Appearing on The One Show, she spoke about the perks of working on the Channel 4 cooking series.
The Ted Lasso actor said: “There were so many delicious things that I started to bring my own tupperware to work.”
Talking to The One Show presenters Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas, the ex Strictly star continued: “Then I found out where the chocolate cupboard was.”
Alex was intrigued and interrupted her, saying: “Hang on, what, there’s a chocolate cupboard? Is it full of cooking chocolate though, that doesn’t taste great?”
Ellie replied: “There’s a chocolate cupboard and it is amazing. It’s the finest most delicious most fancy chocolate, it’s beautiful I was in heaven.”
Bake Off: The Professionals airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
