Last week it emerged that Paul Hollywood and his wife of 15 years had split up fuelling rumours that The Great British Bake Off judge had grown close to his new co-star.

And it doesn't look as if those are going to die down any time soon considering that it has now come out that she has also called things off with her husband.

 

The two judges are said to have bonded during filming.

The Sun reports that Marcela Valladolid and her Mexican politican spouse Fausto Gallardo have split for a second time (they remarried following a divorce).

A source close to the couple, who have a nine-year-old son, revealed: "Her family were excited that this TV show was going to be her big break. But it's just been the break-up of her marriage."

Hollywood is best known for The Great British Bake Off. 

The news will only add to speculation that Valladolid and her fellow American Baking Competition judge Hollywood have developed a close relationship.

Hollywood's rep confirmed that he and his other half Alexandra, who have a son together, had split after the chef turned up to the Bafta awards alone.
