Former Bake Off star Ruby Tandoh marries her musician girlfriend in a low-key ceremony

Great British Bake Off star Ruby Tandoh has tied the knot with her long-term girlfriend in a low-key ceremony.

The food writer, 26, married guitarist Leah Pritchard at a ceremony in Sheffield before a reception at Abbeydale Picture House, a former cinema, on Friday.

She wore a simple cream kaftan-style dress and open-toe sandals, carrying a small sprig of white flowers.

Leah, who plays in a band called Alimony Hustle and is training to be a counsellor,  wore an electric blue suit over a colourful printed shirt and tan brogues. 

For the reception, Ruby changed into a silver mini dress festooned with sequins and tucked into a three-tiered sponge covered with multi-coloured icing - although it is not clear whether the star baker made it herself. 

She was derided for her pastel-coloured wedding cake during the series four finale which she lost to Frances Quinn, before dismissing weddings as ‘just an exercise in narcissism’.

The couple are not believed to have invited any of Ruby's fellow GBBO contestants. 

Ruby famously came out on Twitter in 2015, joking that she was finally able to move on from rumours about her and GBBO host Paul Hollywood, after she was accused of flirting with him to make it to the finals. 

Her announcement came a few months after she began dating Leah, who met on Tinder and works for a mental health charity. 

Speaking on Dolly Alderton's Love Stories podcast earlier this year, the Southend-on-Sea native said: 'I'm bisexual, I like men and I like women, and so looking back now I wish I hadn't said the Paul Hollywood thing [...] even though I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, it wasn't because I was queer.'
