Mary Berry baffles fans with a pizza nonsense

Celebrity chef sets Twitter on fire with takeaway admission

Viewers were left baffled after Mary Berry confessed to never having ordered a takeaway pizza.

The former Great British Bake Off Star showed off her recipe for a parma ham and goat’s cheese pizza in the latest instalment of Mary Berry Everyday.

But before making her own tasty treat, she was given a lesson from two pizza aficionados who showed Berry how to create an authentic margherita.

The 81-year-old said: “I’ve called for my first-ever pizza delivery in the form of brothers James and Tom from Dorset, who love it so much they went all the way to Naples to discover the secrets of the very best pizza in the world.”

Fans on Twitter were quick to react to her admission, with many baffled to learn the TV star has never had the popular dish delivered to her.

One viewer wrote: “Shook by Mary Berry saying she’s never had a takeaway pizza.” Another said: “Mary Berry has just been knocked off the pedestal I had her on. She hasn’t ever had a takeaway pizza !!!! ”

The level of disbelief continued on social media as one viewer wrote: “Wait. Mary Berry’s never had a pizza delivered to her before?!#maryberry.”

One viewer pointed out the difference between a classic delivery and Berry’s lesson, writing: “Mary Berry ordered a pizza for the first time. No Mary Berry, you ordered a pizza oven and 2 chefs.”

Not only were the cook’s fans disappointed over her takeaway confession, many were perplexed when she ate her pizza with cutlery.

“Why on earth is Mary berry eating pizza with a fork #maryberryeveryday”, one viewer asked. Another wrote: “Just when you thought Mary Berry couldn’t get any posher, she shows up eating a pizza with a knife and fork on BBC2 #maryberryeveryday.”
