LAUREN TAYLOR chats to The Great British Bake Off star Paul Hollywood about criticism, handshakes and his beginner baking tips
THE Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood, known for his icy stares and no-nonsense feedback of contestants’ masterpieces, says he’s his own biggest critic too.
“I'll always be critical, because nothing’s ever really perfect, even the stuff I make - nothing is perfect,” says the 59-year-old.
Merseyside-born Paul, who is releasing his latest cookbook, Celebrate, has been the only mainstay on the popular baking show since its conception on the BBC in 2010, before it moved to Channel 4 seven years later.
Running the family bakery at 20, his on-screen persona certainly hasn’t been created for TV. “I’ve always been like that [at the] bakery, with the lads I was working with. My dad [John] was like that with me - so I’m just passing the buck.
“I am very critical, but I think it’s healthy. It’s not a destructive criticism. It's constructive because you get better and better.”
