TV chef James Martin has revealed he took party animal Dame Mary Berry on a six-hour trip to superclub Pasha.
He says the 88-year-old cut loose in Ibiza after a visit to the Balearic islands - and loved life on the dancefloor.
James told Holly Willoughby and Dermot O'Leary all about in on This Morning.
After they headed to Gok Wan on the decks on the party island, Holly asked James: "I hear you've got a bit of a story about Ibiza?"
He replied: "It's a claim to fame! I took Mary Berry for a six hour night out in Pasha". Stunned Holly then asked: "Are you kidding me? Did she enjoy it?"

"She did - she led me astray. She even hit the dancefloor."

It seems like it's not the only time she's let loose in Pacha.
Telling Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett’s Dish podcast all about her experience at the iconic party venue, she says she couldn't help but get carried away.
She said: “I can remember thinking this is terribly exciting, and I can remember going up the steps into Pacha where somebody came forward and stamped you."
James said she loved their six-hour trip (ITV)Amazed, she adds: “I’d never been stamped before, I thought, will it ever come off? It was like a rabbit warren. It was narrow and there were lots of floors and lots of paths, and everybody was drinking and smoking.
“It suddenly struck me that if there was a fire, would we ever get out? But even so - it was good fun.”
It seems like there is a lot more to the doyenne of baking that meets the eye.
For an udderly “saucy” prank, Dame Mary said she once posted a cow’s teat through her brother’s letterbox.

But before the shoot for Collector’s World started - back in 1971 - she decided to have a bit of fun with her sibling who lived along the same road.
“The first thing I did, which was very saucy, I cut off one of the teats and put it through my brother’s letterbox,” the chef giggles.
Maybe it's because she is too busy partying, but Mary says she doesn't watch Bake Off anymore
“I had seven wonderful years at Bake Off and it’s a wonderful format," she said.
"I don’t actually watch it, because you can imagine, being married to me, there’s a lot of food about, so we don’t watch much cooking on telly.”
