<\/p>\nPAUL Hollywood\u2019s son Josh, 21, skipped his famous dad\u2019s wedding to pub landlady Melissa Spalding amid rumours of a \u2018rift\u2019 between them.<\/p>\n
The 57-year-old TV favourite wed the 39-year-old a hotel in Cyprus surrounded by their nearest and dearest \u2013 including Paul\u2019s Bake Off co-host Prue Leith.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The couple wed at the Anassa Hotel and Melissa\u2019s family were in attendance.<\/p>\n
But Paul\u2019s son Josh, from his first marriage<\/span> to Alex, didn\u2019t attend and a friend told the DailyMail: \u201cJosh did not go.\u201d<\/p>\n Back in 2019 it was reported that the Bake Off star\u2019s son hadn't spoken to his father since he walked out on his mum Alexandra in November 2017.<\/p>\n At the time it was reported that he\u2019d repeatedly ignored texts from his dad Paul, who had sent him gifts to try and win back his affections.<\/p>\n The teenager stood by his mum after she was left heartbroken by Paul who left her for barmaid Summer<\/span> Monteys-Fullam.<\/p>\n She had previously taken him back after an affair with Marcela Valladolid, his co-host on The American Baking competition.<\/p>\n The couple reconciled a few months afterwards as he described the incident as "the biggest mistake of my life" before he met Summer in their local pub.<\/p>\n A spokesman for Alexandra told the newspaper at the time: "Paul hasn't seen his son since November 2017 and the split has been deeply distressing to him.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Paul is aware of his son's feelings on the matter.<\/p>\n "Alex would never normally comment but on this occasion it is important that the truth is known and that Josh is protected.<\/p>\n "Josh has behaved admirably over the past two years and has only ever made Alex proud during very difficult times with all the newspaper articles about his father."<\/p>\n Paul has now remarried and, according to the\u00a0MailOnline,\u00a0the bash started in the afternoon with a ceremony before a party late into the night.<\/p>\n Paul\u00a0lived in\u00a0Cyprus\u00a0during the 1990s and previously worked at the venue's sister hotel as head baker.<\/p>\n They were joined by 75 guests, including Prue, who enjoyed a break at the hotel prior to the wedding.<\/p>\n A source said: \u201cIt was a very tasteful and stylish wedding and the hotel management really pulled out all the stops to make it a memorable day. There was a very lively party with loud music and lots of drinking that went on until late into the night.<\/p>\n \u201cPaul is very close to the hotel owners and they made sure that everybody had a great time. He loves Cyprus and it was a wonderful setting for what was a beautiful occasion.\u201d<\/p>\nRead More on Paul Hollywood<\/span><\/h2>\n
