Appearing on former Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw and Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett's podcast Dish, she explained some of her more unusual Christmas cooking methods.

She said: "I roast the turkey at home, and I've learned not to overcook it. So many times, even I have overcooked it. This time I'm cooking it without foil, I shall cover it with foil once it's done, then I shall put some tea towels over the top.

"I've got an old sleeping bag that's got no zip and I put that over the top in the corner of the kitchen and then I shall take that in the back of the car to [my daughters.]

"Once you take it out of the oven, it goes on cooking. And so you want to insulate that. I shall pop it in the back of the car inside its sleeping bag and we'll be having drinks and lots of jollity until we need to carve it."

As part of the BBC's festive programming, she will be hosting Mary Berry's Ultimate Christmas, due to air on December 19, where she reveals more of her tips for the Christmas feast.
