BAKE Off judge Prue Leith accidently let slip that two stars of the upcoming celebrity series didn’t get along.

The 84-year-old started opening up Rev Richard Coles and Sara Cox failing to see eye to eye during an interview on The One Show – but quickly stopped herself before she said too much.

Asked about the new line-up, Prue sighed: “Oh we had everyone there.

“But the ones I remember enjoying most is we had the Reverend Coles and Sara Cox together and it was very odd because they just… I don’t know sometimes it just gels and sometimes people get on together well and um…”

She then stopped herself and there was a very awkward pause before presenter Roman Kemp swiftly moved the conversation on.

Those watching at home clocked Prue’s comment and asked: “Was she saying the rev coles and Sara Cox didn't get on?”
