Prue Leith is known for her love of colour, and it extends to the vibrant home she shares with her husband John Playfair, who she moved in with in December 2020 after a ten-year relationship.

The Great British Bake Off judge often shares glimpses inside her home on Instagram, and as you would imagine, the kitchen was a big priority when they were redecorating – the responsibility for which fell to Prue.

"Both my husband and I love colour and so what we did was we divided up the rooms. He did the library and I did the kitchen – the two biggest rooms," Prue shared.

Prue Leith has opted for a "sunny and cheerful" yellow kitchen

The result was a bright yellow kitchen that provides a statement backdrop to many of her cooking tutorials on Instagram. The eye-popping cabinets are offset by white worktops and open shelving to display everything from kitchenware to cooking ingredients, with a large island unit at the centre.

The Bake Off star said she dislikes "murky" colours

Speaking to HELLO! about the inspiration behind the design, Prue previously revealed: "I like very bright and cheerful kitchens. I hate all those murky colours. I like clean, clear colours so I have a yellow and white kitchen. It's so sunny and cheerful, especially now because we have a big bowl of daffodils in the middle of the table."
