Prue Leith and her son, Conservative MP Danny Kruger, will work together on a new documentary exploring assisted dying.

The Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith is to present a hard-hitting documentary for Channel 4 on the subjected of assisted dying.

The 82-year-old has spoken passionately in support of assisted dying in the past but holds a different view from her son, Conservative MP Danny Kruger, who will join her on the one-off show.

The pair will travel to the US and Canada to speak to people on all sides of the debate and discuss their findings with each other.

A source told The Sun: "Viewers will see a very different side to Prue in the programme as she strongly supports assisted dying.

"In contrast, her son Danny is opposed to the idea, claiming it's risky because it opens the doors to abuse and exploitation.

"So the resulting conversations they're likely to have on their journeys will make for interesting viewing."

The as-yet untitled documentary will air on Channel 4 early next year.
