Mrs T’s sweet side
She may be the Iron Lady but Margaret Thatcher has one real weakness: chocolate. According to her daughter Carol, the former PM, who is recovering from a broken arm, passed down her love for all things cocoa.
“I inherited being a chocoholic from mum,” admits Carol, 55.
“Once she was meant to have given up chocolate for Lent and I found her tucking into a chocolate dessert. She told me, ‘It doesn’t count as it’s only pudding!’”
Looks like she has a soft centre after all…
