Food writer, television presenter and all-round amazing baker Mary Berry, was at the 2017 TV Choice Awards last night to receive the highly-coveted Outstanding Contribution to TV Award.
We caught up with the former Great British Bake Off judge on the red carpet to find out what she really thought of the new series of the show, which is the first without her as a judge.
Mary left the popular TV series last year when it moved to Channel 4, having been a judge since the show started in 2010. When asked about the new series she described it as a "wonderful format" going on to explain that Prue Leith would have been her first choice to take her place in the series, which is now into its eighth year.
Watch our interview with Mary Berry on the red carpet:
Mary was at the 2017 TV Choice Awards to receive the Outstanding Contribution to TV Award for her many years within the TV industry. During her acceptance speech she thanked her assistant and collaborator Lucy Young, who has been with her for 27 years saying, "we have never had a cross word". She then joked, "I've been married for 50 years and never had a cross word - sometimes".
