Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith certainly held nothing back during a recent interview, when she told presenters of her experiences taking acid and stumbling into orgies.

Nope, we're not making this up.

The cake connoisseur, 80, revealed she'd had a rather colourful youth while speaking on LBC in an interview with Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson, 41, which airs tonight at 9pm.

"It was the Sixties, there was a lot of drugs around. We used to smoke a bit of pot, not all the time and not a lot, but we did," she said.

"And one day, we did take acid, only once, and I must tell you, it was the most appalling experience I've ever had.

"I had absolute horrific hallucinations. I couldn't look at him because he turned into a kind of monster, and my arms, the flesh dripped off them. There was just bones left."

Adding that the experience had a long-lasting impact, South African born Prue went on: "I'd have nightmares. And when I woke up, nothing would look like I knew it ought to look.

"It would be wobbly or strange or growing and sinking and shrinking and expanding.

"And right until my, I suppose, sixties, I would still sometimes wake up in the night and I felt I could see the air, you know?

"It was almost patterned, like little squares or pixels."

Prue also spoke about mistakenly stumbling into an orgy in Paris, and taking her clothes off, too.

"I realised I would be less conspicuous if I took my clothes off, so I did. I tell you what, I did walk around," she said.

"I'd pretend I was going to the loo and then I'd pretend I was going to the bar and I did this for an hour or two and then my friend reappeared and we went home."

Looking back on her rather adventurous 20s, she laughed: "It's not a bad reputation to have at 80."
