Dame Mary Berry is set to release a special new project with the BBC to celebrate her milestone 90th birthday.

The national treasure, who is best known for hosting the Great British Bake Off, is reportedly bringing out a new series in autumn after she turned 90 on March 20.

After her milestone birthday, it has been claimed that Mary is now filming a special series in celebration of her life, including all her favourite recipes.  

A source told the Mirror: 'Mary is a national treasure so what better way to celebrate her than a new series. It'll be a tribute to the Mary’s joy of cooking and sharing good food.'

It is thought the six-part show will feature some of the icon's favourite memories, as well as her best-known fuss-free recipes for every occasion.

MailOnline has contacted the BBC for comment.

Mary previously revealed how she would be celebrating her 90th birthday while speaking to Vogue. 

She simply said: 'There will be cake, and champagne. I'm all for parties.'

The chef also admitted she is no fan of gyms and instead takes after her mother, who preferred walking for exercise.

Speaking of her mother Margaret, she said: 'She didn't go to gyms and I couldn't agree with her more.'

Mary previously suffered a health scare when she was picking sweet peas in her garden in August 2021 and tripped.

She had to wait three and a half hours for an ambulance to arrive and had surgery for a broken hip at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.

The TV star said the following year: 'My GP told me, ''You've two options. You could sit in a chair and do no exercise and quite probably be dead in four years, or you can set to, walk (uphill too!) and do everything you can, and it'll take 18 months for a full recovery''.

'And gosh, she was right. I've exercised and had lots of physio and it's not quite normal yet, but it will be.'

Mary also recently revealed that she plays tennis every week – as long as it's sunny.

As well as her hugely successful career as a chef, Mary and her husband Paul Hunnings also welcomed three children; Thomas, William and Annabel.

William tragically died in a car accident in 1989 when he was 19. Annabel was in the car also but survived.

Mary recently shared how she and Paul were 'lucky to have him' and they got to be a 'family unit' right up until 'those few hours' before he died.
