Great British Bake Off’s Paul Hollywood got Mary Berry ARRESTED after she vandalised his Aston Martin
The 81-year-old prankster has a secret criminal past thanks to her co-star
MARY Berry may have the nation's heart as our favourite soggy bottom loving cake-maker on The Great British Bake Off... but make sure you don't cross her!
Co-star Paul Hollywood has revealed that he had the 81-year-old ARRESTED live on stage after the rebel scrawled 'Love, Mary' across his beloved Aston Martin car in permanent marker back in 2014.
Paul told magazine: "I told the police officers I wanted to press charges, and they arrested Mary on stage."
When the vandal was asked why she did what she did, she replied: "Well, we were fed up with him!"
She previously spoke of the incident on This Morning last year - but failed to mention she ended up in cuffs because of it.

Speaking to Philip Schofield and Amanda Holden, Mary said: "Paul is very keen on his cars, and he is brilliant on his Aston Martins and all the rest, and he was going on about it, and I thought, 'Has he got anything else but cars?'
"And just as I walked out, his new car was there.
"I had just been signing books, so I had a marker pen, so I just put 'love Mary' on it! Only on the corner.
"But with a little bit of assistance from [the make-up team], it came off."
Thankfully though the pair have now patched things up and have become a dastardly duo working to improve Britain's baking skills.
The Great British Bake Off is set to return later this year at a later date than usual to avoid a scheduling clash with the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Last year's series was so popular it pulled in a staggering 12million viewers an episode on average and bosses are worried that may be affected if Olympic fever grips the nation.
Therefore The Great British Bake Off is due to return on 24 August.
