The elderly British television baker, Mary Berry was arrested at an airport in the US on suspicion of drug trafficking, she has claimed.

 

The former Great British Bake Off judge had bizarrely chosen to pack baking ingredients – flour and sugar – into plastic pouches and attempted to take them onto a flight to the US.

 

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show on BBC One, Berry said she was grabbed by narcotic forces arrested and held in a cell while police interrogated her.

 

She recalled: “I was arrested some years ago. I was going to the US to do some cookery demonstrations and was worried that there might be problems so I weighed out all the ingredients – flour, sugar – and put them all in little plastic bags. When I arrived at the airport the sniffer dogs made a beeline for me. Suddenly I was surrounded by uniformed people and my assistant and I were put in separate cells. It was alarming. When I was asked if I was going to make money from the stuff, I said, ‘I do and my fee has already been agreed.’”
Berry was appearing on the show with Claudia Winkleman to talk about their new BBC series, Britain’s Best Home Cook.

 

Winkleman joked that the airport incident revealed Berry’s “darker side”.

 

Berry did not specify which airport the alleged incident took place at, nor offered an explanation as to why she would need to take the ingredient to the states where they are commonly and freely available to purchase. Berry also did not explain why narcotics sniffer dogs would be alarmed by the smell of sugar and flour. Nor why she would say she is making money from the powders without mentioning what they are to the police.

 

 

A naiive immigration mistake, a false/exaggerated publicity stunt or covering for a darker incident… is for the reader to decide.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.

“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
