What ARE Claudia and Mary cooking up now...

CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN and Mary Berry, co-hosts of the new BBC competition Britain’s Best Home Cook, have just as much chemistry off-screen. Winkleman, 46, had the former Bake Off host, 83, in fits of laughter at the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards after she admitted her cooking skills have not improved a jot since they started working together. The real talking point of the night, however, was the television chef Lorraine Pascale, who arrived with a new boyfriend, above. He is dapper businessman Dennis O’Brien. ‘We met in the gym,’ Lorraine, 45, tells me. ‘We’re both really into fitness, and we both love food.’ Their debut comes shortly after Lorraine’s aristocratic ex-husband, Count Kaz Balinski-Jundzill, got engaged to former ‘It girl’ Sophie Anderton.
