Actor and comedian Matt Lucas has announced he will be "cheerfully passing the baguette on to someone else" as he steps away from his role as co-host of "The Great British Bake Off." In a statement posted to Twitter, Lucas blamed the departure on scheduling conflicts with his new Sky series "Fantasy Football League."
"It's become clear to me that I can't present both 'Fantasy Football League' and 'Bake Off' alongside all my other projects," he wrote.
