Bake Off host Noel Fielding expecting second child with girlfriend Lliana Bird

NOEL Fielding is back to work on The Great British Bake Off – just as his girlfriend has revealed she has her own little bun in the oven.

The comedian’s partner Lliana Bird announced on Instagram that she is pregnant with their second child, having given birth to their daughter Dali in 2018.

Lliana, who is a DJ on Radio X, said she had “been baking something” in lockdown and confirmed she is now on maternity leave.

She wrote: “I’ve actually been baking a little something of myself this lockdown so I’m starting my maternity leave from @radiox this week, and delighted that the bad ass lady that is @pollyjames will be keeping my show seat warm in the coming months.”

Noel has been busy in recent weeks – along with Prue Leith, Paul Hollywood, and new ­presenter Matt Lucas – looking after a fresh batch of contestants in the Bake Off tent.

But the bakers are bound to be having a nightmare with this weekend’s soaring temperatures.

That should certainly make for some amusing viewing when the show finally returns later this year.

It was revealed last month that the upcoming series was being filmed in a brand new location.

Filming in the famous Bake Off tents is now taking place in Essex, while previous series took place in the grounds of Welford Park, Berks.
