Paul Hollywood, 55, 'is moonlighting as a pizza chef' at pub managed by girlfriend Melissa, 37... with Bake Off star's new role 'confirmed' in now deleted post
He's reportedly worth £11.5 million and takes home a hefty £400,000 pay check from Channel 4 every year.
However, Paul Hollywood is understood to be working the night shift at the Kent pub where his 37-year-old girlfriend Melissa works as the landlady.
The Great British Bake Off judge, 55, was announced as the 'night chef' at Smarden's Chequers Inn in a since-deleted Facebook post, The Sun reports.

With Scott reported as being Melissa's brother, it seems the TV personality will bond with his in-law over the £13 masterpiece - which boasts tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, Parmesan and cream.
A source told The Sun: 'Pubs are doing all they can to get punters' bums on seats.

Wow! The Great British Bake Off judge, 55, was announced as the 'night chef' at Smarden's Chequers Inn in a since-deleted Facebook post

It comes after Paul was said to be living with his new girlfriend in the countryside home that he bought with his former lover.
Friends say the couple – who began dating after Paul's split from Summer Monteys-Fullam in August 2019 – are 'madly in love' and recently enjoyed a sunshine break abroad.

A friend said: 'Paul and Melissa spent a lot of time together in lockdown. They bubbled up together and stayed at his house. Now she is there for good. They are delightfully happy, though it must be a bit strange given it was bought for Summer.'
The baker and TV star met Melissa at The Chequers Inn where he was a regular.
He met Summer in 2018 at another nearby pub.
Last year, Paul officially removed his ex-wife from her positions as director and secretary of his multi-million-pound company.
