Paul Hollywood has split from his wife Alexandra after 15 years of marriage.
His agent confirmed the news after The Great British Bake Off judge turned up to the Bafta awards alone this week.
Paul Hollywood attended the Baftas by himself.
Pals close to Hollywood are said to be shocked by the split especially because the couple, who have an 11-year-old son, enjoyed a romantic break before he jetted off to the States to film The American Baking Competition.
However it has been revealed that he has already moved out of the family home and into a studio flat in Kent.
He was in LA shooting The American Baking Competition recently.
The 47-year-old television star is also said to have grown close to fellow US judge Marcela Valladolid after working together.
An insider told The Sun: “Marcela loved his Scouse charm and he thought she was gorgeous and talented – the perfect package… During the filming they got very close and count each other as close friends.”
