Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins: 'New show is farewell tour in case it fails'
Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins have joked that they may call their new daytime talk show a "farewell tour" in case it fails to impress.
The Great British Bake Off duo will launch Mel & Sue on ITV next Monday (January 12), 15 years after their original series Light Lunch came to an end.
Discussing their nerves, Perkins said: "I've started calling it the 'Farewell Tour' in case it fails. I'll say, 'Mel and I will always love each other, but it's goodbye'. But if it works, we'll rebrand it and say, 'Well, hello again'. It's like the Rolling Stones - every tour is a farewell tour."
Giedroyc added: "Everyone is really nice if they think it's a farewell tour. They give you the benefit of the doubt."
On finding the right format for their return, the pair also revealed that they had spent two or three years trying to find the right live show.
