Dame Mary Berry and Bridgerton cast among celebrities at Chelsea Flower Show

Dame Mary Berry and cast members from the hit Netflix show Bridgerton are among the celebrities who have paid a visit to the Chelsea Flower Show.

The former Great British Bake Off judge, 89, was photographed in the Bridgerton garden, joined by Hannah Dodd, who plays Francesca Bridgerton in the series, and Ruth Gemmell who portrays her mother, Lady Violet.

The garden is inspired by Penelope Featherington, played by Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan, whose love story is one of the main focal points in the romance series’ latest season.
