"The kindest and most knowledgeable teacher, the bakers and viewers will love her," she wrote on Instagram Stories.
The two stars have a history as longstanding friends, with Caroline being the co-owner and managing director of Leiths School of Food and Wine.
Speaking previously about her exit, Prue – who will continue to appear on the main show – told This Morning: "It's mainly because these things are filmed back to back.
"The whole way through the summer, so you start in April and you end at the end of August. Honestly, you get no time off. And, I'm getting a bit old and there's places I want to go."
