    Series 12 of Bake Off was filmed earlier this year when the cast and crew formed a secure bubble at Down Hall, an established country house hotel in Hertfordshire. 

    The six-week takeover at the luxe hotel was to avoid staff and stars getting pinged.

    According to reports in The Sun, judges Paul and Prue Leith, 81, alongside hosts Matt Lucas, 47, and Noel Fielding, 48, joined staff at the bar most nights.

    Paul’s girlfriend, barmaid Melissa Spalding, also stayed for two weeks, according to crew members. 

    Actor-come-host Noel and his wife, radio DJ Lliana Bird, 40, reportedly organised an ‘indie festival’ for staff.

    Alongside partying into the early hours, comedian Matt hosted a quiz, with chef Paul trading whipping up meals for showing off with nunchucks.

    To ensure minimal COVID risk, hundreds of the show’s workers had no choice but to remain on site once they arrived in early June.

    One source said: ‘Some nights we all went to the hotel bar and there was music playing and we carried on partying.’

    The Great British Bake Off returns to Channel 4 at 8pm on Tuesday 21 September and Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice will air on Channel 4 at 8pm on Friday 24 September.
