I
t’s a hugely
embarrassing
time to be Paul
Hollywood, who has
been spectacularly
‘pied off’ by his younger
girlfriend (if you saw
Love Island, then you’ll
know what we mean).
Paul Hollywood, 53, was
dramatically dumped by his
24-year-old flame, Summer
Monteys-Fullam, after she
was asked to sign a gagging
order. Her staunch refusal
led to her handing back a
£9,000 ruby and diamond
ring, given to her by the Bake
Off star on her birthday.
The unlikely pair met in2017 at the birthday of Paul’s
then-wife, Alexandra, 55,
held in the very pub where
Summer worked. The couple
were romantically linked in
November of that year,
shortly after Paul and Alex,
his wife of 19 years, separated.
Now, the silver fox finds
himself fighting over his
£100,000 Range Rover, plus
the collection of chickens
he shared with barmaid
Summer – including the
couple’s treasured hen, Karen
(yes, really). Does anyone else
think Alex, watching all this
from afar, might be having
the last laugh now?
Both Alex and Paul are due
in court soon,
where he may
be ordered to give
his former wife up
to half of his £10m
fortune, as well
as their £2.4m
home, where Alex
currently lives
with their 17-year-
old son, Josh.
Alex previously
revealed that sheSweet
revenge
ended her marriage of
two decades for her own
‘self-respect’, claiming, ‘I
don’t feel angry with Paul- though of course there’s
a certain amount of hurt.
‘Anger is emotive and
I’m not carrying that
around with me. All
it does is upset you.’
Since then, Alex has
picked herself up and
reinvented herself as an
Instagram ‘mummy cook’,
overhauling her wardrobe
and her whole look.
Paul’s ex-wife has held
her head high since details
of her own split with
Paul slowly emerged.
As for young Summer, any
possibility of a reunion was
dashed last week when Paul
Paul Hollywood appears
to be getting a taste of his
own medicine, after years of
humiliating ex-wife Alex...

money selling stories’.
Oh dear.
Keep hold of your dignity,
Summer – just like Alex did.
Paul has quite clearly lost
every scrap of his.
