He began his baking career as a youth and went on to work as a head baker at a variety of hotels around the United Kingdom and around the world.
Since returning from being in Cyprus, Hollywood began to appear in guest spots on a number of British television shows on both BBC and ITV.
Although Hollywood's television career began with food programming, he has since branched out into other genres, including motoring.
Personal life
Alexandra, a celebrity baker at a five-star hotel, met his former wife Alexandra in Cyprus where he worked as a head baker and she was a scuba diving instructor. They later married on the island of Cyprus. They have a son.
After having an affair with his co-judge Marcela Valladolid, Hollywood broke away from Alexandra in 2013. They reconciled later and then split in November 2017. In July 2019, the couple announced their divorce. Summer Monteys-Fullam, a 23-year-old girl, died in August 2019 after a two-year marriage ended.
Early life, education and early career
Hollywood was born in 1966 in Wallasey, Cheshire, by the son of bakery owner John F. Hollywood and Gillian M. Hollywood (nee Harman). He was a pupil at The Mosslands School. At Liscard Hall, Hollywood studied sculpture but was encouraged to begin as a baker. He began working in his father's bakery in York (the headquarters of a chain called Bread Winner, which then grew all the way down the east coast from Aberdeen to Lincolnshire), then in other bakeries on Merseyside. He went on to become the head baker at a variety of hotels, including The Dorchester, Chester Grosvenor and Spa, and the Cliveden Hotel. He left the United Kingdom for Cyprus, where he spent two years at two resorts.
Television and media career
Hollywood has appeared on several television shows, including BBC One's The Generation Game, The Heaven and Earth Show, ITV's This Morning, and The Alan Titchmarsh Show. Since the show was first broadcast in 2010, Hollywood has been a judge on BBC show The Great British Bake Off. He has been portrayed as the "antidote" to judges such as Len Goodman or Simon Cowell in other reality television shows, due to his straightforward and honest demeanor, and because his review is limited solely to the finished product. In The Guardian, his association with Mary Berry has been described as the show's "cover weapon" and possibly one of the best judging combinations to have appeared on reality television. Love Productions decided to change the show from BBC to Channel 4 in September 2016. Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, the hosts, announced that they would not be moving to the new network, followed by Berry shortly after. On the same day as Berry, Hollywood announced that he would remain with the series.
His 2005 book 100 Great Breads was named as the "Top Bread and Pastry Book" for the year by the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.
Hollywood introduced an almond and roquefort sourdough dish in 2008, which was later deemed as the most expensive bread in the United Kingdom. The roquefort is available from a French expert, at £15 per kilo, but the bread's flour is made by a miller in Wiltshire. It's described by Hollywood as a "Rolls-Royce of loaves." Hollywood has appeared at many food festivals, including the Cumbrian Food Festival and the BBC Good Food Show and the Cake and Bake Exhibition in London. On CBS, Hollywood began to appear as a judge in May 2013.
Sadie J, a children's television show, has also appeared on Hollywood. On BBC Two in 2013, he gave advice on how to bake bread for various types of bread; on the other hand, there were recipes for certain cakes, such as the Danish pastry. On BBC One, he also presented Paul Hollywood's Pies and Puds, a cookery television series.
Who Do You Think You Are? Norman Harman, a soldier who served in the Army during World War II, was involved in the Tunisia Campaign and the Battle of Anzio, according to the program, his great-grandfather, Kenneth MacKenzie, was a policeman in Glasgow Police in the 1850s. Donald MacKenzie, Hollywood's great-great-grandfather, had been a crofter in Poolewe, Wester Ross. Donald was also the post-runner between Poolewe and Dingwall, where he delivered the newspaper on foot over a distance of 60 miles (97 km). He covered this distance every week during his forties, covering it on foot for more than a decade. He lived into his 80s.
