Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood Oxford shows cancelled as whole tour called off

Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood will no longer be bringing his show to Oxford later this year as his nationwide tour has been cancelled.

The celebrity baker was to visit New Theatre Oxford in October as part of his Paul Hollywood Live tour across 18 towns and cities.

But today it has been confirmed that the show, which was to stop off at Oxford on October 20 and 22, has been called off.

In a statement, the producers said:

“Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond either Paul's or Cuffe & Taylor's control, and despite the best efforts of all those involved, we have sadly had to cancel Paul's forthcoming tour.

All tickets purchased will be refunded in full. We are all very sorry that this has had to happen.”

Paul Hollywood Live was set to entertain audiences with live demonstrations, baking tasks and some 'very special surprises'.
