SCOTTISH tennis champion Andy Murray joked that cooking is not his “superpower” as he shared an image with his gran and Mary Berry ahead of the release of a new cooking show.
In a post on Twitter/X, the Scot said that Berry had visited his luxury five-star hotel Cromlix for her new show Mary Berry’s Highland Christmas.
He said: “Cooking is definitely not my superpower, but think we managed to pull off something edible when I was joined in the @CromlixHotel kitchen with the best cook in my family, my Gran, and Dame Mary Berry.
“Mary Berry’s Highland Christmas is coming soon to BBC One.”
In the show, Berry will travel to the Highlands to cook up a variety of festive dishes while also sharing anecdotes about her Scottish roots.
She said: “Christmas in Scotland is the biggest treat, my mother and her family were Scottish so it is a special place for me.
“The festive holidays are all about sharing special times with friends and family and so what better way than cooking some of my favourite dishes with a traditional Scottish twist.”
Many reacted to the image on social media with one saying they “couldn’t wait” for the show to start and asked if there were “any deep fried mars bars in the mix”.

A fourth person meanwhile said: “The colab I didn’t know I needed.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
