‘Mary, Mel And Sue’s Big Christmas Thank You’ Has Viewers Longing For Old BBC ‘Bake Off’
There was a festive reunion for Mary Berry, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc on Christmas Eve, as they came together on TV for the first time since leaving ‘The Great British Bake Off’ last year.
The trio delighted viewers as they held their ‘Big Christmas Thank You’, which saw them come together to throw a party for the residents of a deserving community in the Welsh valleys.
However, the one-off show had fans feeling nostalgic about the BBC version of ‘Bake Off’, which ended when Channel 4 snatched the rights to air it.
While the new incarnation has proved to be a hit along with new additions Prue Leith, Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, that didn’t stop fans lamenting how the original stars were no longer part of the show.
Taking to Twitter, many longed for their return to ‘Bake Off’:
watching them makes me realise how much i miss them on #GBBO #MaryMelAndSuesBigChristmas
All I want for Christmas is for bake off to go back to BBC one, and to get Mary, Mel and Sue back, and to just get rid of Paul, because no one liked him anyway #GBBO #BBC1forever

I am so happy to see the best Bake Off trio on the BBC again #BigChristmasThankYou
Loving seeing @sueperkins and Mary & Mel reunited. Great chemistry from the fab three and a really inspiring programme too. Who needs Paul Hollywood and Bake Off. Give them their own series @BBCOne – pleeeaase ???

Fuck Paul Hollywood. Im watching Mary Berry, Mel and Sue on BBC1. I know where my loyalties are at!!!!
How good is it to see Mary, Mel and Sue reunited on your tv tho
I’VE JUST CAUGHT THE LAST BIT OF MEL&SUE + MARY ON BBC ONE AND OMGGG MY FAVES BACK 2GETHER
The threesome were clearly delighted to be back on screen together – and it didn’t seem like they were missing Paul Hollywood either.
As they reunited at the start of the show, Mel said to Mary: “It’s so nice to see you, Bez!”
“It’s lovely to be back!” she replied. “The threesome!”
Ouch.
Since leaving ‘Bake Off’ Mel and Sue have gone on to front various projects with the BBC – both together and individually – and will be at the helm of a reboot of ‘The Generation Game’ next year.
Mary has also continued to make her own cookery series for the BBC, as well as presenting ‘Secrets From Britain’s Great Houses’.
Meanwhile, the Great British Bake Off’s Christmas special is set to air on Christmas Day at 7.40pm on Channel 4.
