Prue Leith is the most glamorous member of The Great British Bake Off team and in head-turning throwback photo, the star resembled a Hollywood starlet.
In a beautiful black-and-white photo, the now 85-year-old posed elegantly behind a bar with a small martini glass by her side. The stylish star looked irresistible in a sweeping, floor-length satin dress, which she completed with an eye-catching pair of drop earrings in a unique design and a diamond bracelet.
Prue had her hair styled up in a bouffant as she stared seductively down the camera.
The post was shared by the official Great British Bake Off social media accounts ahead of the show's 1970s Week, and they said in the caption: "Of course Prue looked this glammy in the 1970s."

Meanwhile, a third penned: "Wowza! Bond Girl! Who knew?" and a fourth commented: "Wow! I like her a lot now but somehow I thought she'd be more like Brie Larson in Lessons in Chemistry kind of beauty. Here she looks like Claudia Cardinale in the 60's."

Is Prue leaving Bake Off?
The glam star saddened fans when she confirmed that she would not judge on the Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off, which sees celebrities attempt to impress the judges in a bid to raise money for the cancer charity.
Although Prue is planning to return for the full series later in the year, she also hinted that this could be her last time on the iconic show.

"I thought I'd just see how I go this year, because I definitely feel a bit older this year than I did last year."

None of these things worried me two years ago – I could run upstairs – and so I'm very keen to leave Bake Off before I'm asked to leave. But, on the other hand, I really enjoy it."
