A successful TV double act is like a happy marriage, and that’s what it feels like to hang out with former Great British Bake Off presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins. The closeness and affection between them is clear – they even have pet names for each other – Mel is ‘Melly’ and Sue is ‘Perks,’ – and they’re on such a similar wavelength they finish each other’s sentences.
‘It’s such a precious relationship,’ says Mel, 51. ‘It’s so valuable, what we have and the fact that we’ve been friends for 30 years. I’m getting emotional! It’s rooted in a real friendship, so if anything went wrong, it would just be so devastating.’
Sue says that being together through their 20s and 30s forged a strong bond between them. ‘A row would be so catastrophic to our family and friends’ ecosystem that I can’t imagine it,’ says Sue, 50.
