It will feature some of the icon’s favourite memories plus her best-known fuss-free recipes for every occasion. It’s being made by the production company and much-loved team at Sidney Street who are behind her series Foolproof Dinners. It ties in with her cookbook of the same name. It will be a six-episode series, coming to screens in Autumn 2025.

Much-loved Mary has enjoyed a glittering career, gracing our TVs for five decades and selling more than 12 million cook books.

The former Great British Bake Off host studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris before becoming food editor at Ideal Home magazine. She’s published more than 75 cookery books, including her best-selling Baking Bible in 2009. Her first book was The Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook in 1970.

Hosting several television series for the BBC, most famously withuntil 2016, her most recent series, Mary’s Foolproof Dinners, saw her cooking and conversing with celebs.

She was made a dame for services to culinary arts in 2021. She picked up her honour at a ceremony with - then a Prince - at Windsor Castle.

In a message for her 90th birthday, - his son - left Mary in tears with his well wishes. He said: "I want to wish you a very happy 90th birthday. You are a true national treasure and we've loved working with you over the years. Have a fantastic day today. I dread to think who's cooking your cake and the criticism they might get but good luck and I hope it goes really well."

Dame Mary has also marked her birthday by joining for the first time.

Still approaching life with vigour, she sprinkles joy on everything she does. And the secret to her long and healthy life? Mary says her genes are good, with her mother, Marjorie, living to be 105.

“She didn’t go to gyms and I couldn’t agree with her more,” laughed Mary.

Mary, who has been married to Paul Hunnings for 67 years, this week picked up the Special Award at Fortnum’s Food and Drinks Awards.
