She then added: “& to all the bros who hate social media, who pit it against 'real life' - I never would've had courage to be me w/out twitter's qu**r queens.

“p.s. for those who thought I fancied Paul Hollywood or that I'd ever bang him to get ahead - JOKE'S ON YOU, YOU MASSIVE S****ING MISOGYNISTS.”

During the 2013 series of the hugely popular baking show, Ruby was accused of ‘flirting’ with Paul Hollywood in an attempt to win his admiration.

At the time, she told the Guardian: “I’d rather eat my own foot than attempt to seduce my way to victory.”

Following her appearance on GBBO, Ruby now works as a food writer.
