FROM pan-frying cod with comedian Tom Allen to baking cheesecake with sports presenter Gabby Logan, Dame Mary Berry’s new TV series has the legendary cook whipping celebrities into shape in the kitchen.

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.
