Host Nick Grimshaw said: “There’s a wonderful rumour that Mary Berry went to Ibiza and got right on the tequila.”

Dame Mary smiled before explaining she had been at the Spanish location for a wedding and said: “All the wives had one place we wanted to go to, and it was Pacha.”

The club is one of the most iconic in Ibiza, and the 91-year-old added club: “The men weren’t a bit keen, but they came, and I can remember thinking, ‘This is terribly exciting.’

“I can remember walking up the steps to Pacha, and then somebody came up and stamped you! I’d never been stamped before [and I wondered] will it ever come off?”

Speaking about her time inside the club, she added: “The boys went one way, and we went the other, because they didn’t really want to be there.

“It was like a rabbit warren – it was narrow, with lots of floors and lots of paths, and everybody was drinking.”
