Showbiz pals both old and new, including TV chef Jamie Oliver, join the former Bake Off host for the six-part show to celebrate her turning 90.

While the celebrities have revealed how much they enjoyed cooking alongside her, Mary, in turn, tells how she loved teaching them simple meals they can now produce time and again.

Mary, who has been a TV stalwart for six decades, says she learned how to be successful at fronting cookery shows in the 1960s, when she was a regular guest on Judith Chalmers' daytime programme Good Afternoon.
