If you're a fan of cooking shows, or just fancy seeing a national treasure live in person, then look no further - Mary Berry will be appearing at a Radio Times Hall of Fame event, where she will be in conversation with Claudia Winkleman to tell all about her long and storied career.

The 75-minute event will chart the Queen of the Kitchen's life since the early 1970s, when she first hit our screens and became a champion of home cooking.

The conversation will of course cover Berry's time as a judge on The Great British Bake Off, as well as recent hit shows such as Best Home Cook and Mary Berry: Love to Cook.

Berry will be joined by her friend and Strictly Come Dancing favourite Claudia Winkleman, who will engage her in a conversation about her life on the small screen, in a tribute to one of the nation’s favourite cooks.
