Delia Smith reveals she loves tucking into McDonald's when supporting Norwich City

Delia Smith has revealed she loves tucking in to a McDonald’s burger.

The celebrity chef, 78, confesses to often stopping off for a Maccy D’s when supporting Norwich City.

Delia owns the Premier League football club with her husband, writer Michael Wynn-Jones, and when the Canaries play away they also enjoy a curry, she admits.

In an interview with food magazine Delicious, the chef, who has taught millions to cook through her books and TV shows, says: “At away matches, we used to eat burgers in the car park [of McDonald’s restaurants].

"It became our tradition.”

The magazine adds: “On away-match weekends, she goes out for a Sunday lunch curry.”
