Mary Berry’s Christmas Party

MONDAY / BBC1 / 8.30PM

If there is one festive bash we’d love an invite to, it’s Mary Berry’s.

This week, the Queen of Baking opens up her home to presenters Alex Jones and Fearne Cotton, Strictly judge Darcey Bussell and Citizen Khan star Adil Ray for Mary Berry’s Christmas Party, a one-off special.

But if the famous faces think they’re just going to sit back and relax with a glass of mulled wine while Mary prepares a selection of delicious party dishes, they’ve another think coming!

Here Mary, 82, reveals her secret to a tree-mendous knees-up…

So, Mary, tell us more about your Christmas special…

I’ve invited well-loved names from television to help me prepare dishes for my buffet-style Christmas party. But not all of them cook!

How much do the guests’ culinary skills differ?
