Beloved Great British Bake Off host Dame Prue Leith left Alison Hammond in hysterics as she recounted the rather bizarre tale of how she once attended a sex party by mistake.

Speaking to Alison Hammond on her Smart TV podcast, the 84-year-old looked back on her younger days as she recalled stepping foot in a room of people engaging in a "mighty gang bang".

It was whilst living in Paris during the 1960s that GBBO star Dame Prue was invited by a friend to what they were expecting to be a usual run-of-the-mill party, but shortly after stepping foot inside they realised that it was anything but.

Recalling what unfolded, Dame Prue said: "We banged on the door and people rather reluctantly let us in. When I walked in, everybody was stark naked and it was in two or three rooms and there were just all these naked, humping bodies everywhere."

Still trying to take stock of what she had walked into, the broadcasting legend left Alison in stitches as she simply summed up what she was witnessing: "It was a mighty gang bang, is what it was."

Explaining how she soon started to feel like the odd one out at the party as she was fully clothed, she revealed how she started receive comments from other guests: "I was left standing there, fully dressed, everyone else was fully naked, so I went to the bar and of course everyone else kept coming up to me and saying "get your kit off, you can't come to this party and not".

Whilst adamant that she was not going to part-take in any of the X-rated activities at the party, she revealed how she did eventually abide by the party's no clothes policy: "I suddenly realised that I was the most conspicuous woman in the place, because I had clothes on, so I took all of my clothes off."

Away from her time living in Paris for a brief period during during her 20s, Dame Prue soon embarked on what has been a hugely successful career having opened her own Michelin-starred restaurant, Leith's in 1969, that she would own for over two decades. Having appeared in TV shows previously, it is possibly for her roles on The Great British Menu and more recently The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4 that she is best-known.
