What Happened
Dame Prue Leith, the 86-year-old television personality and former judge on The Great British Bake Off, has called for the creation of a dating platform specifically for older adults, humorously dubbed “Geriatric Tinder.” This request arose after her husband, John Playfair, joked about their own meeting on a dating site for seniors, prompting inquiries from fans about the existence of such a service.
Why It Matters
Leith’s comments highlight a growing interest in addressing the dating needs of older adults, a demographic often overlooked in the digital dating landscape. During an interview with Radio Oldie, she noted the significant number of women who approached her, expressing curiosity about where to find this hypothetical service. Leith emphasized that an enterprising individual should take the initiative to develop this concept.
What’s Next
In addition to her dating platform proposal, Dame Prue Leith recently announced her departure from The Great British Bake Off after nine successful seasons. She expressed her intention to return to the show in the future, as her exit was somewhat abrupt. Meanwhile, she has welcomed Nigella Lawson as her successor, praising her capabilities and expertise in the culinary field.
