Sue Perkins has revealed that she is taking some time out from Twitter after receiving a number of death threats.
The Great British Bake Off presenter has apparently been targeted by trolls after being tipped as Jeremy Clarkson’s replacement on Top Gear.
As well as denying the reports that she is being lined up for a role on the motor show, Sue explained that she will be taking a break from her social media account.
Guys, post the utterly fabricated story about me & Top Gear, my timeline has been full of blokes wishing me dead…

This morning, someone suggested they’d like to see me burn to death.
