Mary Berry will leave the Great British Bake Off, according to the BBC.
The Bake Off queen and Penn resident is preparing to take off her crown ahead of the popular programme's planned move to Channel 4.
Her announcement - which was revealed by the BBC this morning - says she will stay with the channel "out of loyalty to them".
Her statement said: "What a privilege and honour it has been to be part of seven years of magic in a tent.
"I am just sad for the audience who may not be ready for change, I hope they understand my decision."
She added: "The Bake Off family - Paul, Mel and Sue have given me so much joy and laughter."
"I wish the programme, crew and future bakers every possible success and I am so very sad not to be a part of it.
"Farewell to soggy bottoms."
