Dame Mary Berry recently made a heartfelt appeal at the Fortnum and Mason Food and Drink Awards, revealing to the audience her struggle with deafness. The former Great British Bake Off star, who was honored with a special award, emphasized the significance of the event and requested the audience to lower their volume due to her difficulty in hearing over the “raucous” crowd. Berry clarified that they “must hear every single person” before disclosing her deafness, according to reports.
The television personality also discussed her previous health challenges, including a mild infection when she contracted polio at the age of 13. Despite her health struggles, Berry continues to push forward, with an upcoming show that is eagerly anticipated to hit screens, showcasing her joy of cooking and sharing good food.
