The TV legend was a judge on the show whilst it was broadcast on the BBC between 2010 and 2016 before it left for Channel 4.

She has lived in Henley, in the south of Oxfordshire, with her husband, Paul Hunnings, since 2019.

The 91-year-old’s “true colours” have now been revealed by a famous “neighbour”, according to The Mirror.

It is reported by the national newspaper that TV presenter Vernon Kay lives nearby in Beaconsfield, and he often sees the legendary cook.

On BBC Radio 2 this week, the 51-year-old said: “I see her every now and again in the village, Mary Berry.

“She’s local to us, or we’re local to her. Very, very sweet lady. Always good value, and an icon.”

The Mirror added: “He didn’t reveal the precise village that he was referring to on air, but past reports have placed Mary’s former home in the village of Penn, where she is said to have resided for more than 30 years in a Grade II-listed property.

“However, it’s believed that Mary has lived in Henley-on-Thames, a town on the edge of the left bank of the River Thames in south Oxfordshire, with her husband, Paul J.M. Hunnings, since 2019.

“Penn is a short nine-minute drive to Beaconsfield, while Henley-on-Thames is slightly further away, about 28 minutes by car, so it would suggest that Mary and Vernon still live within 30 miles of each other.”
