Candice Brown’s ex-husband has admitted her ‘kiss’ with Paul Hollywood was a ‘lot to have to deal with’.
The Great British Bake Off winner confirmed this week that she and her husband Liam Macauley had split up after two years of marriage and eight years together.
And tree surgeon Liam has admitted that the pressures of fame affected their relationship, after Candice won the final BBC series of Bake Off in 2016.
Just over a year after Candice’s win, Liam popped the question – but days later, a picture emerged of GBBO judge Paul Hollywood appearing to kiss the baker.

Speaking to MailOnline, Liam said: ‘I’d not long asked Candice to marry me and I had to read reports that my new fiancée was seen kissing Hollywood and getting close to him.
‘That was just a kiss on her cheek and there was nothing else to it. But we had only been engaged a few days. It was a lot to have to deal with.’
Paul, 54, was seen leaning in for a kiss with Candice, 35, after the 2017 Pride of Britain Awards, with the star confirming his split from wife Alex just weeks later.
However, both parties denied that it was anything more than a kiss on the cheek, with Candice tweeting: ‘No kisses or hugs hello or goodbye from now on- handshakes or waves only!’
Stacey Solomon defended the pair too, tweeting: ‘Whatttt you got a goodbye peck too? Remember handshakes and waves from now!’
While Liam admits that he found it difficult being thrust into the spotlight thanks to his wife’s newfound fame, he said that nobody else was involved in their break-up, saying they ‘just sadly decided it wasn’t working’.
He added: ‘My wife is a lovely woman and a wonderful human being and I could never find anything detrimental to say about her.’
Liam has now moved out of the flat he and Candice shared over their pub in Milton Keynes, and jetted off to Greece for a two-week holiday.
Dancing On Ice star Candice addressed the reports surrounding her marriage this week, telling Hello! magazine: ‘Liam and I split earlier this year. It is a very sad time for both of us.’
The pair met in 2012 at the bar Liam was working at while studying, and tied the knot in September 2018 in an outdoor ceremony at Chateau de Varennes in Burgundy.
Post Bake Off, Candice went on to open her own pub, The Green Man in Eversholt, with her brother Ben, having grown up in their family’s pub.
