Bake Off’s Prue Leith hits back at men with ‘dirty minds’ after ‘ball gag’ necklace went viral
BAKE Off’s Prue Leith has slammed men with “dirty minds” after a necklace she wore on the show last month went viral for resembling a “ball gag”.
Fans were surprised last month when they spotted the contestant’s eye-catching necklace as she returned to judge a new crop of famous faces in the Stand Up To Cancer special.
The episode quickly went viral, sending viewers into a frenzy.
Taking to twitter, fans couldn’t help but compare it to a toy used in the bedroom for adult roleplay.
One fan said: “Just bn told off by my mum for comparing Prue’s necklace to this.”
Another said: “Anyone else watching celebrity #GBBO #StandUpToCancer looking at Prue and thinking gag ball!”
Now Prue has finally responded to the online chaos over her famous “ball gag” necklace in a appearance on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Any Cohen.
On the show the Great British Bake Off judge was asked by viewers from Florida for her reaction to the necklace she wore being compared to a ball gag.
Host, Andy Cohen, 54, displayed a photo of the necklace, which included a single round red ball, and said it looked like a ball gag.
Any asked Prue if she knew what a “ball gag” was in the show.
“Well, I do now. Only because of the uproary about that necklace. Now I feel sort of obliged to wear them. …I just think it’s such nonsense,” Prue said.
She continued: “I don’t want to be intimidated by some a lot of chaps on Twitter who have a dirty mind!”
A ball gag is a sex bondage device that is often constructed of a rubber or silicone ball with a strap running through it and is inserted behind the front teeth of the user.
As a sex toy, it is used to distract a subservient partner during consenting intercourse.
