Mary Berry is cutting back from eating calorific treats for fear her bum will get too big.
The 83-year-old star is trying to refrain from having a second helping of puddings to help herself stay slim, but admits it’s "hard" to stop herself from having extra dessert.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I don’t know about you but it all goes on my bottom and I don’t want it there.
"It’s not having a second helping of something like sticky toffee pudding. It’s hard.
"Everything in moderation, a little bit of everything and lots of veg."
But the culinary queen does not deny herself all calorific treats, because she still likes to chow down on a portion of strawberries and cream now and again.
Mary recently said her current judging role on BBC One’s ‘Britain’s Next Home Cook’ is much "kinder" than her previous position on ‘The Great British Bake Off’.
The iconic baker returned to screens last month following her decision to leave ‘Bake Off’.
She said: "Yes, the judging certainly is different. We wanted to avoid tears. All three [her and the other two judges] of us encouraged people and told them where they went wrong, and said: ‘Next time do it like this’. This will help the viewer."
Mary enjoyed judging on the show because it was a "refreshing" difference to ‘Bake Off’.
She explained: "It was quite different. I’ve spent seven series on ‘Bake Off’ and so it was very refreshing. I couldn’t have chosen two people more knowledgeable in their fields.
"I haven’t changed my principles of judging. I want to get the best out of people and encourage them if they’ve made a bit of a cock-up.
"We don’t want people to be upset but ready for their next challenge."
