Paul Hollywood’s ex-wife Alex accuses him of MORE ‘extra marital affairs’ in bombshell post
PAUL Hollywood’s ex-wife took a swipe at the baker yesterday by claiming their marriage was “over seasoned with extra marital affairs.”
The Great British Bake Off judge confessed to cheating on Alex Hollywood with TV chef Marcela Valladolid in 2013.
And after their 20-year marriage ended in 2017, Paul started dating barmaid Summer Monteys-Fullam.
In a post on Instagram to her 19,000 followers, Alex said: “It’s taken me a while to get here and it hasn’t been easy, but I love the woman I am now.
“I know only too well that not every marriage/partnership is a recipe for happiness and success.
“My own marriage was too over seasoned with extra marital affairs for my taste and so I opted out and chose the single menu instead. It wasn’t easy and it took some getting used to.
“I wasn’t even sure I liked it much at first, but as I regained my confidence, my freedom and myself after so long, I discovered that it really isn’t a cliché to say happiness really does comes from within.”
Chef Alex, who has a teenage son with Paul, said she is happy on her own.
She added: “I still get the occasional well-meaning comment — that I’ll get ‘snapped up soon’ rather like a supermarket meal deal. People don’t like to believe that a woman can be happier single.”

They reconciled before splitting for good in 2017 with Alex citing infidelity.
In papers, she disputed Paul’s claim that he started a relationship with Summer only after the split.
