BBC baking legend makes ‘triumphant return’ as ‘they score another top TV series after six months break’
A BBC baking legend is making her ‘triumphant return’ after a six-month break with a new TV series.
Dame Mary Berry is said to have landed another television show on BBC Two and a companion book this autumn.
The program will be called Mary Berry Makes It Easy and comes after her Britain’s Best Home Cook challenge show was canceled last September.
This left the beloved chef, 88, without a series on the BBC for the first time in a decade.
The sun reports that, however, Mary will return to our screens and is already hard at work filming the “beautiful new show.”
