In a statement she said: "My decision to stay with the BBC is out of loyalty to them, as they have nurtured me, and the show, that was a unique and brilliant format from day one.
"What a privilege and honour it has been to be part of seven years of magic in a tent.
"I am just sad for the audience who may not be ready for change, I hope they understand my decision.
"The Bake Off family - Paul, Mel and Sue have given me so much joy and laughter.
"I wish the programme, crew and future bakers every possible success and I am so very sad not to be a part of it.
"Farewell to soggy bottoms."
