Matt Lucas is leaving the Great British Bake Off<\/a> after three seasons hosting the show alongside Noel Fielding.<\/p>\n

The Little Britain star confirmed the news on Twitter, and explained why he was quitting the series. As it turns out, it looks like scheduling conflicts appear to be behind his decision to leave.<\/p>\n

He posted: \u201cFarewell Bake Off! It\u2019s been a delicious experience and I can\u2019t imagine a more fun way of spending my summers, but it\u2019s become clear to me that I can\u2019t present both \u2018Fantasy Football League\u2019 and \u2018Bake Off\u2019 alongside all my other projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
