The 56-year-old chef has suggested introducing an "international 'Bake Off'" as a way of spicing up the hit TV series.

He shared: "Let's have the Brits against the Americans. And then Prue [Leith] and I could still judge it, and we just have contestants in from all over the US and UK going head to head."

Paul would also love to film an Easter special.

He told E! News: "Everyone can get dressed up like they did this year. I lived and worked in Europe for a while, and there's so many traditions in Europe and so many bakes. Of course, in the UK, we have the hot cross buns, and we have tsoureki in Greece and Cyprus.

"I'd love to do something on that, 'cause there's so many things we can do."

Prue, on the other hand, has thinks an 'All Stars' version of the show is unlikely to happen.

The 82-year-old star doubts that previous winners would wish to return to the programme.

Asked about the possibility, Prue replied: "If you've already won 'Bake Off', your life changes.

"You become either a very well-known baker, or you find yourself with a bakery business, or you're on television as a presenter, or you are writing a new cookbook, and you have a reputation you don't want to damage."

Prue ultimately believes that it would be too difficult to convince the past winners to make a return to the show.

Despite this, she confessed that the idea hasn't even been explored.

Prue said: "They feel that it's the top of their career so far. Would you want to risk losing it?"
