"I'm a huge fan of Mary's and I feel good about her floral bomber jacket!" he told the magazine.

"One of the first cookery books I ever bought was a Mary Berry one. She's brilliant. I can knock up a good pie and quiche."

Asked who he wants to see win an NTA this year, O'Leary added: "Claire Balding. I think she's just so effortless. She and Gabby Logan did a great job on the Olympics."
