The baker supreme will appear on The Graham Norton Show tonight, where she tells the funny story, but for now, we have the gist of it.
"I was arrested 25 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," she told Graham.
"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'."
Luckily the realised that Mary was not talking about a certain substance, and instead talking about flour, so she was let go and went on to be one of the greatest bakers of our time.
