Mary Berry received tributes from the great and good of British TV during a The One Show special on Monday (March 24). However, one star came in for criticism for his contribution to Bake Off star Mary’s 90th birthday celebrations.
Crooner Michael Ball, 62, divided viewers as he paid musical tribute to Mary last night, with some accusing him “ruining” the programme. In fact, one person watching at home even demanded the popular West End star “get off” their telly.

Others who popped up on the special episode to hail Mary included her former GBBO co-star Paul Hollywood, Andi Oliver, Joanna Lumley and Don Warrington.
Mary’s husband Paul, 93, also featured in a heartwarming short segment which took Mary by surprise.
But as the show concluded with Michael and a group of singers performing a cover of ABBA’s Mamma Mia! – with adapted lyrics specific to Mary – some of those watching at home were not won over.
