'No-one’s said anything to me' Jo Brand uncertain of Great British Bake Off future
JO BRAND has broken her silence on the drama unfolding around the Great British Bake Off’s move from BBC One to Channel 4; and she is as in the dark as everyone else, it would seem.
Jo Brand hopes Mary Berry will bake exclusively for her
Appearing on Lorraine today, Jo was asked about Extra Slice - the spin-off series that airs additional clips and exclusives.
“So will Extra Slice switch to Channel 4?” asked Lorraine.
“I’ve got no idea,” Jo admitted. “No-one’s said anything to me.”

I don’t blame Mary; she probably wants to put her feet up
Of Mary Berry’s announcement yesterday that she will be quitting as a judge on the show, Jo said: “I don’t blame Mary. She probably wants to put her feet up. I’m 20 years younger and I’d like to put mine up!”
The 59-year-old comedian, actress and presenter also noted that she’d love for Mary to use her free time to whip up some treats just for Jo herself.
“I want her to come round and bake exclusively for me. She can live in my kitchen cupboard,” she joked.
Lorraine expressed her sadness over the sudden changes taking place with the Bake Off to which Jo replied: "People will just have to go to the shop and buy a sausage roll."

The actress was appearing on the show to promote her latest TV series, Damned - a comedy about social workers.
“I can’t watch myself,” she revealed. “It’s like when you’re a kid and listen to your voice on a recording and you’re mortified. I can’t bare it!”
Lorraine returns on Monday at 8:30am on ITV; Damned airs at 10pm on Tuesday 27 September on Channel 4.
