Is Paul Hollywood gay?

No. He is allegedly in a relationship with landlady Melissa Spalding, 37, who works at his local pub. They live together in his £1million home. They have reportedly been together since December 2019.

Before his relationship with Melissa, he was dating Summer Monteys-Fulham, 24, however they split up in early 2019. Paul was previously married to Alexandra Hollywood for 20 years, who he shares son Josh, 17, with.

It has been reported that the GBBO judge had an affair with American Baking Competition co-star Marcela Valladolid in 2013, while he was with Alexandra, which he said was the “biggest mistake” of his life, according to Hello magazine.

Why did viewers think Paul Hollywood is gay?

Fans were led to believe Paul Hollywood could be gay after Matt Lucas said to him: “And you call yourself a gay man”. It came after Paul said he had never been to any shows in the West End.

The moment took place when they were both looking at baker Laura’s West End cake for the showstopper challenge. However it seems like Matt was making a joke about Paul.

Just before the showstopper challenge, bakers were asked to make rainbow bagels. This is when Paul Hollywood referred to them as “NHS bagels”, however this sparked backlash from several viewers.

One viewer said: “Paul Hollywood let down the gays this week. Paul, you can’t get more gay than a bagel, never mind a rainbow bagel.”
