Queen of the cookery world
Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins present their former Great British Bake Off co-star Dame Mary Berry with the BAFTA Fellowship.
They declare: ‘She has humanity, grace and a twinkle and is a moral compass in these times of nonsense’.
Dame Mary is greeted with a standing ovation as she accepted Bafta’s highest accolade for her ‘exceptional contribution to television’, joining the ranks of Sir David Attenborough, Baroness Floella Benjamin and Sir Billy Connolly.
She said: ‘I see myself a teacher and television is the biggest classroom there is’.
She concludes her speech by thanking her husband Paul Hunnings and their three children, Thomas, Annabel and William, ‘who is in heaven’.
