The comedian, 61, revealed news of her departure on Thursday in a statement on Twitter.

She’s hosted The Great British Baking Show (known as The Great British Bake Off in England) since 2017, alongside fellow comedian Noel Fielding. The two are joined on the show by judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

In Toksvig’s statement, she said she would be moving on from the program to focus on other work projects.

“When stepping down from a job it is quite common for people to say they are doing so in order to spend more time with their family. Unusually I am departing from the Great British Bake Off so I can spend more time with my other work,” Toksvig said — joking, “As my waistline will testify, Bake Off is an all consuming show.”

“Spending time with Prue, Paul, and Noel has been one of the great pleasures of my life,” Toksvig continued. “These are friendships which I know will continue beyond the confines of television.”

This isn’t the first time The Great British Baking Show has seen a change. The show, which has aired for 10 seasons, was originally presented by Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc, with Hollywood joined by judge Mary Berry.

Perkins, Giedroyc and Berry all left the show in 2016, during a network shift in the U.K.

“Bake Off is a wonderful program which has already proved it can happily withstand a change of hosting personnel,” Toksvig wrote in her statement. “The reason for that, of course, is that the true stars of the show are the bakers themselves. I wish everyone well.”

The Great British Baking Show has become a crossover success, with American audiences falling in love with the series due to repeat airings on PBS and Netflix.
