Great British Bake Off judge comes out with a scandalous revelation that she 'has no regrets' about

The Great British Bake off judge Prue Leith recently became a stage performer when she embarked on her first tour – Prue Leith: Nothing In Moderation. And during her tour, she made a scandalous revelation while getting candid about her personal life.

Extra (marital) love

Leith’s first husband was property developer Rayne Kruger. She was married to him from 1974 until he died in 2002. However, a little unknown (well, until now) fact about their love story was that they were involved in adultery.

Rayne Kruger was married to Leith’s mum’s best friend when she met him. But the two instantly fell in love and had a 13-year-long affair before they got married, confirms Mirror. Leith confessed:

I had an affair for 13 years with the man who became my husband, and he was someone else’s at the time.

I can’t pretend it was right. I never regretted it as I loved him, and he loved me. It all ended well, but it was very painful for a while.

The couple later went on to have a son of their own – Daniel – and also adopted a daughter La-Di from Cambodia, reports MSN.

Wrong yet Right

Describing her actions as ‘absolutely deceitful’ she said on Desert Island Discs:

I was really happy because I was in love with Rayne, nobody knew about our affair and so I was still great friends with all of his family and his wife who I adored.

Although this was absolutely deceitful, I could no more have walked away from him than flown to the moon, I was completely in love with him.

I am not at all proud of the fact that I was an adulteress for all that time but in a sense, I don’t think I had any option, I could not have left him, ever.
