Paul Hollywood’s ex Summer Monteys-Fullam gets Karen the chicken and says she’s ‘safe and well’ after ‘bitter row over the £35 bird’ in wake of split
They were reportedly rowing over who would keep their £35 chicken named Karen in the aftermath of their bitter split.
Last Wednesday, Summer Monteys-Fullam stormed out of the £1.2 million home in Kent that she shared with Paul Hollywood, 53, bringing an end to their 20-month relationship.
The barmaid, 24, took to Instagram on Thursday to give her worried followers an update on the bird, reassuring them she was ‘safe and well’.

It appears Summer has won custody of the fowl as she shared a snap of Karen with her fellow chickens, Fredrica and Ciro.
She wrote: ‘For those you that keep asking how my chickens are. Karen, Frederica and Ciro are all safe and well.’
Summer dumped the GBBO star after he asked her to sign a gagging order just days following his divorce from his estranged wife Alexandra.

Following their break-up, Hollywood agreed to give Summer custody of their rottweiler puppy and horses.
But he reportedly drew the line at their coop of chickens that he said must stay with him.
Extravagant purchases made by Paul for Summer include a £100,000 Range Rover SVR, a £9,000 hot tub for her birthday and a £9,000 ring, some of which the bake off star has stopped Summer from accessing since the split.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Summer told him that she didn’t want any of the gifts he’d given her, and that she was returning to take what was rightfully hers.

Two sides of the story: Summer’s latest update on Karen comes after Paul accused her of selling stories to the press and hunting for fame earlier this week
Summer, who is 29 years younger than Paul, can talk freely about her ex after she ‘flat-out’ refused to sign the NDA agreement and split from the star.
The non-disclosure agreement (NDA) would reportedly have stopped Summer from discussing personal details of their relationship, including their sex lives and his wealth, with her family and friends.

The equestrian lover hit back in an Instagram post, insisting it was not her that leaked the story about the non-disclosure agreement.

She also claimed that she ‘felt so betrayed by the NDA, particularly with how much pressure Paul and his lawyers put me under to sign it’ that she ‘confided in friends and showed them the document’.
She said she pleased that the story had been published ‘to warn other women about the horrendous implications these documents have’.
Summer is back living with her mother Sabrina in Ickham and earlier admitted that the split was ‘one of the hardest things I have ever done’ when a fan praised her ‘courage to walk away’ from their relationship.
She also thanked Instagram followers who said she had ‘dodged a bullet’ and ‘should get yourself an upgrade’ after dumping Hollywood, who is being divorced by his wife of 19 years Alexandra on the grounds of adultery.
Summer had been expecting a proposal following Hollywood’s divorce with long-standing now ex-wife Alexandra but was instead ‘heartbroken’ that he had asked her to sign the document, reported The Mirror.
After Paul presented her with the document she is believed to have refused to sign it and stormed out of the luxury pad they shared.
Upon returning to collect her things from Paul’s house on Friday night the pair are reported to have got into a ‘petty’ row with Paul telling Summer: ‘Why don’t you f*** off back on that horse you rode in on’, according to The Sun on Sunday.
