Although he insists he won't be caught shedding a tear on camera, the Great British Bake Off judge admitted to new! that he's found himself balling in private lately.
'I cried recently watching Schindler’s List, and I’ve watched that hundreds of times. I cry at stupid things,' he said.
'I think crying is a very personal thing,' he said, alluding to his steeling, tough-talking persona on Bake Off.
He wasn't afraid to admit that seeing his male friends refer to him as 'a grafter' on his new TV show A Baker's Life made him shed a tear too.
'It was very nice. They told the cameras things they wouldn't tell me. I did cry.'
