Here’s where it gets a little twisty. Mary Berry was born on March 24, 1935. That’s just two days before Paul! So Mary is actually two days older than her husband. How delightfully cheeky is that?
I imagine their birthday celebrations are a two-day marathon. Sponge cake on the 24th, maybe a lemon drizzle on the 26th. The power couple of baked goods. It’s adorable and honestly, a little unfair to the rest of us.

Paul’s Secret to Youth?
Seriously, look at photos of him. He looks fantastic for nearly 90. Is it the constant exposure to butter and sugar? Mary’s legendary Victoria sponge, perhaps? I’m starting a new theory: love and custard. It’s the only explanation for such a sprightly gentleman.
He’s the man who proofread her cookbooks and tasted every single recipe. Honestly, that’s a job I would have totally volunteered for. Sign me up for the “husband taste-testing” position, please.
