‘Great British Baking Show’s Prue Leith Gets Censored On ‘Live’ While Roasting King Charles
Prue Leith has quite the potty mouth!
The Great British Baking Show judge has made several dirty jokes on the hit Netflix show, much to the delight of the contestants and viewers alike. But Leith could not contain herself when she paid a visit to Live With Kelly & Mark Thursday (Nov. 21) to demonstrate a Thanksgiving recipe.
Leith had shared a rather embarrassing story about the time she messed up the late Queen Elizabeth’s tea when Kelly Ripa asked if she knew how King Charles likes to take his tea.
“Um, I should think he probably likes it, um, what my husband would call… perhaps I can’t say this on morning television,” Leith responded.
Ripa encouraged her to say what was on her mind. “You can say whatever you want,” she told Leith.
Leith promptly responded, “Hippie s***,” though her answer was censored during the broadcast.
Her answer earned raucous laughter and a round of applause from the audience as Ripa and Mark Consuelos praised her.
“Love that,” Ripa said. “Prue, I’ll tell you one thing, you are an American treasure, let me just say that.”
Leith went on to clarify what she meant by “hippie s***.”
“Let me just explain,” she said. “I really don’t know how what used to be Prince Charles, now King Charles, likes his tea, but he’s very green, and very concerned about the environment, so perhaps he’d like chamomile tea or one of those hippie teas!”
Leith has become known for her rather raunchy sense of humor on The Great British Baking Show, so it comes as no surprise that she could not keep it in check during her appearance on Live With Kelly & Mark. Her co-judge, Paul Hollywood, recently called out her “embarrassing” sense of humor.
“I mean, Prue will say it, and I’m sure she’s saying it deliberately,” he told Netflix’s Tudum. “We were doing sausage rolls, and she said to a guy, ‘I don’t think your sausage is big enough,’ and I just stopped and I said, ‘I’m sorry, I’ve got to leave for 10 minutes,’ so I walked out the tent.”
Leith is just the latest celebrity to curse on daytime television. This week alone on The Today Show, Cher cursed during her interview with Hoda Kotb and Richard Gere flipped Savannah Guthrie off.
