Prue Leith Struts Catwalk at London Fashion Week

She may have announced her departure from Bake Off, but Dame Prue Leith showed no signs of slowing down as she took to the runway for the Vin+Omi show during on Tuesday.

The television personality, 85, was back again modelling for the designer and was seen practicing her catwalk at The Art'otel in Hoxton ahead of the presentation. 

Bake Off's , 51, and former host , 51, joined Prue's husband John Playfair on the front row, ready to cheer her on. 

Prue rocked a statement newspaper shirt alongside a red blazer, matching trainers and her signature quirky glasses. 

The baker put on an animated display during the dress rehearsal, before changing into her look for the evening - an orange patterned suit with a dramatic pink ruffled shirt. 

Her hair, meanwhile, was styled into a quiff with flowers sticking out of it. 

Prue announced she was stepping back from Bake Off in January and it has since been confirmed   will take her place, and will join co-judge  when the new series begins filming in April. 

The TV chef, who replaced former show judge in 2017, explained her departure in an interview with The Spectator. She said: 'I have been dithering for years about when to stop judging The Great British Bake Off. 

'When I joined nine years ago, I thought, since I was in my mid-seventies, that I'd be lucky to manage two years. 

'At that age, my mother was deaf as a post and away with the fairies, believing her son was her father and that her cat was the one she'd had 40 years before. 

'But my marbles stayed more or less in place and there seemed no good reason to give up a job I loved. 

'Finally, though, the desire to work less and play more got to me. Bake Off and its offshoots such as The Great American Baking Show and even the Christmas specials are all filmed in the summer, which has meant I could never have a summer holiday.'

Prue explained that a recent getaway to Madagascar was what finally convinced her that it was time to move on.

'I suddenly realised that if I don't give up Bake Off, I'll never again have a holiday in the south of France, in Italy, in Spain, or even in Cornwall or Scotland,' she said.
