"Tony Hall, the BBC’s director-general, telephoned Mr McKerrow to try to smooth matters, according to the BBC. But according to Love Productions, the phone call led to a formal notification from Mr McKerrow that Love’s decision was final.
After the phone call, staff from Love tried to reach the show’s four main stars, Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc, to tell them the news and try to keep them onside. Those attempts were not all successful; some of the four said they had learned, to their bitter dismay, about the collapse in talks from social media."

The Independent just lives on clickbait crap, same as the Huffington Post, the latter of whom don't even pay their contributors. They must do it for the love of appearing in such a well-respected publication(!)
