One of the causes of Mary Berry’s revelations about the slim figure she has maintained her entire adult life is utterly devastating.
Queen of Baking Mary Berry has opened up on how she’s maintained her enviably slim figure for 90 years – and the reason is devastating Dame Mary, still looking sprightly at the age of 90. Has spoken about her weight and how she feels about weight-loss jabs which are currently all the rage.
The former Great British Bake Off’s host, whose successor Pru Leith revealed on Wednesday she was quitting the show, opened up about the tragic reason why she’s stayed so slim over the years.
The TV legend and her husband, Paul Hunnings, were left heartbroken in 1989, when their son William, died in a car crash at the tender age of 19.

She admitted during a talk at the National Liberal Club’s lunch that “we lost a son, and after that we lost weight,” confessing that she has kept that attitude.
Dame Mary also admitted that she was somewhat amused by all the things she could have done with injections during the candid conversation and that the entire weight-loss jab had left her scratching her head.
However, she also made it clear that she does consider her daily diet and that even though she enjoys her food, she is “quite cautious” and has learned over the years that second helpings are a big no.
Mary’s heartfelt confession is not her first to discuss the tragic loss that has affected her life in many ways.
Despite all the success she has had, she recently claimed that her thoughts never stop thinking about her late son.
In 1989, William was driving home from Bristol University with her daughter Annabel in the back seat.
She said, “I think of William every day,” in a radio interview. I do, of course. And if he were to walk through that door, I would ask, “Where the hell have you been?”
I still hold him in high regard. I recall his joy for us. You have to take a step back and consider that I had wonderful parents, that I had two more children, Annabel and Tom, and that my grandchildren.
She touched on the pain of her loss in December when she appeared on Gyles Brandreth’s podcast.
She said, “He asked if he could borrow a sports car, which he was insured for, and I said, “You ask your dad,” and that day brought their lives together.
Anyway, he brought his sister with him, and it was so unoriginal.
“William was the one you could rely on,” said one. Everyone yelled “I’m so sorry to hear about Thomas,” as the phone rang shortly after his death because he was our wild one.
When the policemen stormed the door, I was aware. I can tell him, “It must be an awful thing to tell us all,” I recall.
It was a lot of sadness, but Annabel and I were given a bonus by going to Wycombe Hospital, which they didn’t tell us because the police officers weren’t aware, so we went down.
And I can recall running into Annabel, who was wearing a pink tracksuit, in the direction of my corridor and thinking, “I’ve still got her.”
She described how she handled the terrible tragedy as “I was incredibly lucky to have my husband.” Other friends have experienced tragedies in which the husband and wife argue or don’t comfort each other.
We simply had to be able to have Thomas and Annabel around. Very, very kind people. Simply put, we needed to function. I wanted to avoid having to go back to my place of employment in London.
And despite the agonizing pain they have endured, her happily married to her 93-year-old husband Paul. She thinks that their non-arguing is the key to their union.
I simply leave the back door and go pick up some flowers or apples if there are any disagreements. She said, “It’s amazing if you can walk away.”
