Paul Hollywood, the Great British Bake Off judge, made an early-morning visit to Lovingly Artisan Bakery in Kendal on Friday, October 16, as part of an upcoming television series. The bakery's owners are not yet revealing which show he was visiting for.

Lovingly Artisan, founded by Aidan Monks and Catherine Connor sixteen years ago, said the visit was a memorable experience.
