Mary Berry’s 13 sweetest TV moments

It’s been a red-letter weekend for the titans of British broadcasting. Not only was itDavid Attenborough’s 100th birthdayand the attendant hoopla, butMary Berry was honoured with the Bafta Fellowshipfor her exceptional contribution to television. The cookery writer and presenter received the prestigious gong during Sunday’s ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall.

With a small-screen CV spanning six decades, Berry first appeared in the 1970s. She has since built an impressive list of credits across every major broadcaster and become beloved by generations of viewers.

Her role as an original judge onThe Great British Bake Offhelped make it a huge international hit, connecting the culinary contest to its village fête roots and ensuring it was grounded in warmth, generosity and encouragement, rather than cut-throat competition. In the process, Berry inspired a resurgence in home baking and spawned an entire genre of gentle, craft-based factual programming.

The Bafta Fellowship, its highest honour, is a fitting tribute to a legacy that has enriched the lives of millions. As the doyenne of dough herself says, “For over 50 years, I have enjoyed every moment of teaching my passion on television. I thank all the generous professionals along the way who have given me guidance and support – and I am still learning. This amazing Bafta Fellowship is the icing on the cake.”

We pay homage with a retrospective of Dame Mary’s 13 – well, it is a baker’s dozen – tastiest TV moments. From cooking with royalty to cheeky cameos on other shows, here are Berry’s best bits.

Rolling with the Waleses (2019)

For a festive special,A Berry Royal Christmas, she teamed up with the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to throw a party for some of the charities they support. Berry herself picked it as her proudest TV moment. “William and Catherine put their whole hearts into it and achieved great things, with a lot of laughter,” she said.

As the couple got competitive over making meringue roulades, conversation flowed and we learned snippets, such as William making a mean breakfast and once trying to impress Kate at university by whipping up spaghetti bolognese. When it came to judging the roulades, Berry was winningly diplomatic: “I have to say it’s a draw, because I’m not quarrelling with either of you.” Well played.

Tearful at tent triumph (2015)

The penultimate series ofThe Great British Bake Offto air on the BBC was one of the best, climaxing with an uplifting win for Nadiya Hussain, a full-time mum from Luton. Having watched her confidence blossom and her baking improve over the past 10 weeks, judge Berry was touchingly proud of Hussain’s achievement. In a lip-wobbling speech, she said: “Nadiya has grown and grown, and I enjoyed every minute.” Overcome by emotion, she tearfully walked out of shot.

Cameo in the Traitors castle (2023)

A Comic Relief sketch riffing on BBC hitThe Traitorshas since become an annual event, but this was the original and best. Dawn French played presenter Claudia Winkleman – “half woman, half fringe” – presiding over a Round Table showdown between famous faces. The VIP cast list included Stephen Merchant, Jennifer Saunders, Alison Hammond, Danny Dyer, David Gandy, Anne Robinson, Guy Fawkes (kind of) and Ewan McGregor asStar Wars’ Obi-Wan Kenobi. And then, removing her cloak’s hood, there was Berry, who exclaimed “Come on, everybody, this is a piece of cake.” When she then started tucking into a slice of red velvet, Obi-Wan told her: “Use the fork, Mary.”

Scone but not forgotten (1979)

An early TV sighting saw a fresh-faced Berry teaching viewers how to make scones on Thames Television’s daytime showAfternoon Plus. Sure, it’s not nearly as slick as it would be nowadays, but there are signs of her popular touch. This is old-fashioned, no-nonsense home baking. No stand mixers or gadgetry, just her hands and hard-won skill. She even reassures the audience that they don’t need special equipment. If you don’t have a rolling pin, use a milk bottle. If you don’t have a pastry cutter, use a glass. She was like everybody’s favourite Home Economics teacher.

Innuen-doughs (2010-2016)

It was Berry who coined the dreaded phrase “soggy bottom” – aBake Offstaple still deployed to this day. Other memorable double entendres from the mischievous Dame included, “Oh no, you have irregular-shaped balls”, “They’ve got a good forking”, “Your crack is nice and moist”, and “It’s all in the wrist action”. She somehow kept a straight face when telling series three winner John Whaite: “I like your sausage.” But a nation did a double-take when she stood next to a contestant, peered down at his bowl of whisked egg white and said approvingly: “There it is, looking perfectly stiff.”

Baking in her blood (2014)

Exploring her ancestry on BBC genealogy seriesWho Do You Think You Are?, Berry was thrilled to discover that her great-great-grandfather, Robert Houghton, had been a successful master baker in Norwich during the 1860s. Professing herself to be “full of admiration” for Robert’s entrepreneurial spirit, she pondered how it mirrored her own culinary career and strong work ethic. “I really can say there’s baking in my family,” she grinned.

Strictly come baking (2013)

When theStrictly Come Dancingprofessional troupe performed a baking-themed group dance toIf I Knew You Were Coming I’d Have Baked a CakeandCandyman, there was a surprise in store. And not just judges Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood donning chef’s hats to take part. At the climax of the routine, Berry popped up out of a giant sparkly wedding cake with sheer glittery glee written all over her face. She’s a bigStrictlyfan who has also appeared in the studio audience and on the balcony, but Berry has declined offers to compete, joking that she has “two left feet”.

Air-punch at the NTAs (2017)

At the viewer-voted National Television Awards, Berry was shortlisted for Best TV Judge, but faced stiff competition from the likes of Len Goodman and Simon Cowell. She was endearingly delighted to win, even unleashing an uncharacteristic fist-pump on her way up to the stage. Her sweet acceptance speech began with a fond mention of William and Molly fromGogglesprogs, who’d presented the award. “Nobody is ever smaller than me,” she grinned. “But look at these little treasures.”

Being kind to celebrity bakers (2015-2016)

While Paul Hollywood played bad cop, Berry was always unfailingly polite to the bakers, her critiques erring on the side of constructive. This proved a struggle during the celebrity specials, when famous faces cooked up all manner of monstrosities. ErstwhileTelegraphcolumnist Victoria Coren Mitchell left Berry speechless with her Bloody Mary muffins (“Such fun but I’m not really enjoying them”) and Sailing Around The World showstopper, which was so oversalted that Berry’s mouth dropped open, and she said, with understatement, “I’ve come across some salt”.

She also nearly choked on a beach hut-shaped sponge cake by Zoë Sugg (aka Zoella). “It’s slightly overbaked,” said Berry with vast understatement. “A little bit dry.” Struggling to finish her mouthful, she spluttered that she needed a “drop of water to get it down”.

Baking for the Queen (2022)

In the year of the Platinum Jubilee – “Platty Joobs”, as it was widely dubbed – who better than Berry to lead the search for a cake fit for a Queen? BBC specialThe Jubilee Pudding: 70 Years in the Bakingfollowed a nationwide competition which saw 5,000 home bakers whittled down to one champion. AlongsideMasterChef’s Monica Galetti, Berry made the perfect figurehead. And the suitably celebratory winning pud? A lemon Swiss roll and amaretti trifle, created by Jemma Melvin from Southport. Another portion, ma’am?

Fondant death stare (2014)

It became known as “Fondantgate” among fans. When theBake Offshowstopper challenge was to make a 3D biscuit scene, judge Berry warned: “We don’t want to see anything bought in. We want it all home-made.” Baker Enwezor Nzegwu created a “space-age moon adventure” but there were gasps at home when the business consultant from Portsmouth freely admitted to using shop-bought fondant. Paul Hollywood told him: “That, for me, is an issue.” Berry just doom-stared at him in horror. Precisely nobody was surprised when Enwezor was duly sent packing.

Becoming a catchphrase (2020-present)

You might well not watchThe Masked Singer. We somehow doubt that Berry does either. Yet she’s become a running joke on ITV’s guess-the-disguised-crooner game show, thanks to panellist Jonathan Ross. Whenever he spots a cooking reference among the cryptic clues, he will loudly insist that Berry is beneath the costume. It’s become a recurring theme across seven series as Ross gestures at a scarecrow, panda or giant jacket potato (as a few genuine examples) and confidently declares: “It’s Mary Berry, ladies and gentleman!” Perhaps someday he’ll be proved correct.

Bowing out of Bake Off (2016)

When Channel 4 snapped up the hit show after seven years, the ever-loyal Berry declined the chance to “follow the dough” and stuck with the BBC. Her final episode featured a fond farewell, with a montage of her best bits, Hollywood telling her “Well done, Bezza” and a close-up of four cakes which spelt out “Thank you and goodbye”. There wasn’t a dry eye in the tent – nor on sofas nationwide.

Revisiting Robby Snelling's football, baseball prep career ahead of MLB debut

Robby Snelling is set to make his Major League debutfor the Miami Marlins on Friday, May 8.

The left-handed starting pitcher is ranked as the No. 32 overall prospect in baseball,according to MLB Pipeline, and the No. 2 prospect in the Marlins' farm system. Snelling, 22, was traded to Miami on July 30, 2024, in a package with three other prospects for left-handed reliever Tanner Scott.

Snelling has rebuilt his value as part of the Marlins' organization, posting a 1.86 ERA (second lowest in the International League) with 44 strikeouts (tied for the second most) in six starts this season for the Marlins' Triple-A affiliate, Jacksonville.

However, before Snelling became a baseball prospect, he was also a standout linebacker for his high school, Reno McQueen High, in Reno, Nevada.

Here's a look back at his high school career, which almost led to a commitment as a two-sport star in a major conference:

Robby Snelling, baseball star

Snelling's talent as a baseball player was always evident, excelling as a two-way star in the sport. As a senior, heearned Gatorade Nevada Baseball Player of the Yearhonors in 2022, after finishing with an 8-0 record record and a 0.56 ERA.

He set the single-season Nevada state strikeouts record with 146. He also struck out 20 hitters in a seven-inning game, giving him the state single-game record. At the plate, he hit for a .450 batting average and showed off hispower with 21 home runs at the 2021 All-Star High School Home Run Derbyat Coors Field in Denver. He also hit 94 mph on the radar on the mound.

Snelling originally committed to Stanford for baseball in 2019, shortly after his freshman season in high school. He, however, de-committed from the Cardinal in 2021, as his football recruitment picked up.

He committed to playing both baseball and football at Arizona, but decommitted when Jay Johnson took the head baseball coaching position at LSU. Snelling eventually signed with LSU and Johnson, who first offered him when he was a seventh grader.

Snelling never made it to campus in Baton Rouge, as the San Diego Padres drafted him with the 39th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft. He signed a $3 million contract with the organization.

Robby Snelling, star linebacker

Even with the success in baseball, Snelling was a star on the football field as well. In addition to playing linebacker, he was also the starting quarterback for Reno Queens as a senior, helping lead his team to the NIAA 5A State Championship game.

According to 247 Sports Composite rankings, Snelling was a four-star linebacker in the 2022 recruiting cycle. He was ranked No. 311 overall in the country, No. 31 at linebacker, and No. 7 overall in the state.

Snelling had over 20 offers from Division I schools to play football, including Oregon, Arizona, Auburn, and Arizona State.

Dua Lipa sues Samsung for $15 million for allegedly using her image to sell TVs

By Rhea Rose Abraham

May 10 (Reuters) - British pop star Dua Lipa  has filed a lawsuit against Samsung Electronics seeking at least $15 million in damages, ‌accusing the South Korean tech giant of using her image without ‌permission to market its television sets.

The lawsuit alleges that Samsung featured a copyrighted image of the ​pop star on the front of cardboard boxes containing televisions for retail sale, enabling the company to benefit from what seemed like her endorsement of the product.

The image alleged to have been used on the TV boxes is titled “Dua Lipa - Backstage at ‌Austin City Limits, 2024," ⁠and Lipa is the owner of all rights, title and interest in the image, the lawsuit said. The suit was filed ⁠on Friday in the California federal court.

A spokesperson for Samsung Electronics declined to comment, saying it was unable to comment on pending litigation, while Dua Lipa's lawyers did ​not ​immediately respond to a request for comment ​on the case.

Besides copyright and trademark ‌infringement, Dua Lipa has accused Samsung Electronics of breaching publicity rights.

Lipa's lawyers have attached screenshots of social media postings and comments in the filing claiming that the pop star's image on the front of the boxes pushed potential customers to purchase the product. One of these screenshots shows a fan commenting that ‌they would get the TV "just because Dua is ​on it."

The "Levitating" singer became aware of Samsung's alleged ​infringement in June last year ​and demanded that Samsung stop using her image, but the ‌electronics manufacturer repeatedly refused to do so, ​her lawyers said.

Samsung’s alleged ​unauthorised use of Dua Lipa's image has "caused and continues to cause dilution" of the pop star's "brand identity and commercial goodwill by falsely conveying to ​the consuming public that ‌she approves of and endorses" the products in question, they added.

Adolescence makes history at Bafta TV Awards

Netflix drama Adolescence was the big winner at the Bafta Television Awards on Sunday, while The Celebrity Traitors and Last One Laughing also scooped a share of the glory.

The Celebrity Traitors and Last One Laughing won two prizes each, while Adolescence took four - breaking the record for the most wins at the Bafta TV Awards ceremony in a single year.

The hard-hitting drama, which became a national talking point when it was released in March 2025, was named best limited series, and there were acting honours for its stars Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper and Christine Tremarco.

At 16, Cooper became the youngest ever winner of the award for best supporting actor.

With a little help from their friends

Cooper's Bafta can go alongside the Emmy, Golden Globe, National Television, Royal Television Society and Actor Awards he has already won for playing a boy accused of murdering a female classmate.

In his acceptance speech, the rising star paid tribute to the Beatles.

"In the words of John Lennon, you won't get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it," he said.

"So in my eyes I think you only need three things to succeed: one, you need an obsession; two, you need a dream; and, three, you need the Beatles."

Graham was named best leading actor for playing Cooper's on-screen dad, and Tremarco won best supporting actress for playing his mum.

It was Graham's first Bafta win after seven previous nominations.

In his speech, he encouraged young viewers to believe they could follow a similar path in acting.

"We're not digging holes, we're not digging ditches, we're not saving lives, but we have the opportunity to tell the human condition, and we have the obligation to tell beautiful stories and we need to keep that going," he said.

He also ending his speech with a Beatles reference, telling the ceremony: "The kid's already said it, but in the words of the Beatles, all we need is love."

Actress wins for Zaghari-Ratcliffe role

Meanwhile, Narges Rashidi, who was born in Iran, won best leading actress for playing Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in BBC One's real-life drama Prisoner 951.

Rashidi dedicated the award to the British-Iranian woman who was imprisoned in Tehran for six years, and her family, telling the ceremony: "Your resilience, your dignity, your love through impossible circumstances have moved us all.

"Your courage will stay with me for the rest of my life. This is for you."

Elsewhere, the award for best drama went to ITV's Code of Silence, which starred Rose Ayling-Ellis as a deaf woman who helps police with her lip reading skills.

Alan Carr wins again

The Celebrity Traitors, the most-watched programme of last year with more than 15 million viewers, won best reality programme.

Accepting the award, host Claudia Winkleman dedicated it to the show's "extraordinary cast who played with dignity, gusto and their entire hearts and we love them".

Alan Carr's victory on the programme was named the year's most memorable TV moment - the only award of the night to be voted for by the public.

In his acceptance speech, he joked: "Was I good? Was I really - or were the other celebrities just thick?!", referencing their inability to spot him as a Traitor.

Prime Video's hit Last One Laughing was named best entertainment programme, beating BBC One heavyweights The Graham Norton Show, Michael McIntyre's Big Show and Would I Lie To You.

Bob Mortimer's efforts to make his rival comedians crack a smile while he kept a straight face in Last One Laughing earned him the Bafta for best entertainment performance.

Coogan will play Alan Partridge 'until I die'

Steve Coogan won best actor in a comedy for How Are You? It's Alan (Partridge).

He said: "Doing comedy in these troubled times is so important. It's a privilege to make people laugh after all these years."

He continued: "I will keep on doing it. If anyone wants to know when Alan Partridge is going to die, it's about the same time that I am going to die."

Katherine Parkinson was named best comedy actress for her role as mum Rachel in family sitcom Here We Go.

Her competition in the category included a trio of stars from Amandaland (Lucy Punch, Philippa Dunne and Jennifer Saunders) as well as Diane Morgan and Rosie Jones.

Amandalanddid have success in the category for best scripted comedy, four years after Motherland - in which the title character first appeared - won the same award.

Creator Holly Walsh said: "This is for everyone who is going through a process of reinvention, whatever that is, because it takes a lot to start again."

Win for Gaza doctors film dropped by BBC

The current affairs prize went to Gaza: Doctors Under Attack after it waspulled by the BBC last year, which the broadcaster said was because of impartiality concerns. It was later shown by Channel 4 instead.

The documentary's reporter and producer, Ramita Navai, told the audience: "This award means so much to us," then spoke about the numbers of women, children and healthcare workers who have been killed in Gaza.

"These are the findings of our organisation that the BBC failed to show but we refused to be silenced and censored and we thank Channel 4."

Ben de Pear, the founder of Basement Films behind Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, added he had a question for the BBC: "Given you dropped our film, will you drop us from the Bafta screening later tonight?" He also thanked the journalists on the ground in Gaza.

When the BBC shelved the documentary, it said in a statement "it was determined to report all aspects of the conflict in the Middle East impartially and fairly."

De Pear's comments during the ceremony were later included in BBC One's broadcast of the awards, as part of a round-up of some of the winners.

Netflix's Grenfell: Uncovered, about the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, which killed 72 people, won best single documentary.

In other categories, EastEnders was named best soap, Scam Interceptors won best daytime show, and Go Back To Where You Came From picked up the factual entertainment prize.

Poignant speeches by Mary Berry and Martin Lewis

Former Great British Bake Off judge Dame Mary Berry received the top lifetime achievement honour, the Bafta Fellowship, at the age of 91.

"I'm really bowled over by this accolade. I'm a cook, I'm a teacher, so I feel very honoured to be given Bafta's highest award," she said.

She finished her speech offering thanks to her three children, including her late son William, who died in a car accident in 1989 at the age of 19. She said: "William is in heaven, but I thank him."

Financial expert Martin Lewis was also given an honorary prize, the Special Award.

An emotional Lewis said he wrote the speech on Thursday, 42 years after the death of his mother when he was 11.

"For six years, barring school, I barely left the house. Now I'm picking up a Bafta," he told the audience.

"Life can be transformed, it can get better. If you had told that broken, scared boy that I'd proudly be a campaigning journalist, his jaw would have dropped.

"So I dedicate this to consumer journalism, where I found my voice."
