First off, Prue is a 87-year-old whirlwind of a woman. She’s not just a judge; she’s a restaurateur, a cookbook author, and a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (say that five times fast). She has things to do.
Sometimes, those “things” clash with the tent’s filming schedule. It’s not a dramatic exit—it’s a scheduling snafu. Think of it as Prue taking a “sickie” from the tent to launch a new cookbook or attend a royal garden party.
And honestly? The woman has earned the right to take a day off. If I’d judged Paul Hollywood’s handshakes for a decade, I’d need a break too.
