Mary Berry makes heartbreaking three-word marriage | UK News

Dame Mary Berry turned 90 this yr and has opened up about her marriage to her husband of six a long time, Paul Hunnings, 93, as she shared the difficulties they’ve confronted just lately. Mary explained that Paul is now “very frail,” and she wants to care for him day and evening, which, in true Mary fashion, is usually through her unbelievable food.

In a chat with Yours magazine, she revealed that when she was called away to a photoshoot just lately, she made sure her “cherished” husband was sorted with one thing scrumptious before she left. “Just as I was leaving, I gave him a little plate of smoked salmon, a wedge of lemon, and I cut the crust off the bread,” she shared, including with a smile that although Paul no longer drinks, she’ll “do the drinking” when she will get home. “He’s terribly frail,” she said. “But he’s very cherished and looked after.”

Earlier this yr, Paul suffered a fall and has struggled on his toes ever since, but despite this, she has said it’s a sheer pleasure to look after him, “because he’s so grateful,” she told Saga magazine.

Mary continued: “You know, he always comes first, that is the way I was brought up. He’s very thoughtful now and appreciates the things I do for him… I obviously have to do more now, but it’s a pleasure.”

Mary also reminisced about her standout birthday meal at a family celebration in Bath for her 90th. She kicked things off with lobster ravioli, followed by beef with mushrooms and fondant potatoes, and finished with a show-stopping three-tier lemon cake that she described as “glorious” and superbly adorned.

Day-to-day, though, the baking legend retains issues balanced. She sticks to the food “golden rules” that she swears by: “I don’t eat between meals. I eat what I enjoy, but I eat very carefully.”

The baking gene has been handed down through the generations, as she revealed her daughter Annabel’s children are already little execs with banana cake and lemon drizzle. Mary’s granddaughter, Grace, even turned up last Christmas with her boyfriend, both keen for a mince-pie masterclass. “They made the pastry from scratch,” Mary proudly recalled.
