Paul Hollywood’s girlfriend, 22, previously dated another millionaire, 47, before setting her sights on Bake Off judge
PAUL Hollywood’s young girlfriend dated another millionaire old enough to be her dad before getting together with the star.
Summer Monteys-Fullam, 22, saw property tycoon Walter Collins, 47, for two years.
Regulars at a pub where she worked and met both men say there are “uncanny” similarities between the two relationships.
As well as the age gap, both Walter and Paul, 52, share a love of sports cars and live in a country mansion. One regular said: “There’s no doubt that Summer has a type.
“She has a taste for the finer things in life and it was not unusual for her to have her eye on a more mature man.”
Walter began seeing Summer in 2015 after meeting at the Duke William in Ickham, Kent.
The gastropub attracts a clientele of wealthy businessmen, and many become besotted with the former bridal magazine model.
Summer was soon seen driving around in Walter’s £340,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom as their relationship became local gossip. She would later borrow Paul’s Roller on her 22nd birthday.
