Liz Truss has divided the nation after revealing Yorkshire puddings are banned from Christmas dinners in her home.
The UK’s shortest-serving Prime Minister joined Nick Ferrari on his LBC radio show to discuss how she and her accountant husband, Hugh O’Leary, take on the big day.
But during the chat, where she gave listeners a glimpse into her Christmas preparations, she made a shocking admission about her festive plate.
Ferrari was not taking a back by the fact her husband was taking on the Turkey, but by the lack of Yorkshire puddings on their table on December 2025.
‘What do you do then? Do you do the spuds? Do you do the Yorkshires?’ he asked Truss to which she replied: ‘Yeah I do the spuds. There are no Yorkshires.’
Ferrari seemingly shocked by her confession, said: ‘Hang on, you’ve got a Yorkshire background.’
The former Conservative MP said she thought Yorkshire puddings should only be plated with beef, and it was ‘wrong’ to serve them with turkey.
But one festive tradition that remains in their home is a glass of Buck’s Fizz to kick off the festivities.

However, her Christmas dinner decisions have sparked feverish debate online, with one passionate listener lambasting her lack of Yorkshire puddings a ‘disgrace’
‘Sorry, Liz is correct. Yorkshire pudding only with beef, never with anything else,’ one penned.
‘You can criticise Liz Truss for plenty, but it is not “her rule” not to have Yorkshire puddings with Christmas Lunch. It is a universal rule.’
But, others firmly disagreed with one declaring: ‘Yorkshire pudding belongs on Xmas Dinner. Case closed.’
Last month, a YouGov poll found that more than half of Brits said they would avoid adding Yorkshire puddings on their Christmas dinner.
Meanwhile, 68 percent of those surveyed said they would prefer to have roast beef over turkey.
However, in recent years, Yorkshire puddings have enjoyed newfound fame thanks to social media content creators preparing them in new ways.
The Daily Mail previously provided a step-by-step guide for making the perfect Yorkie, according to science
For example, influencers have been making them in air fryers, proving that they are much more versatile than people might first think.
Yorkshire puddings were even recently named Britain’s most treasured regional delicacy.
They have found their way into desserts and sandwiches, with M&S launching the Yorkshire Pudding Wrap in the M&S Café last month.
Customers were delighted, calling it ‘the best thing they’ve had from M&S’, ‘better than the Christmas markets’ and describing it as ‘unbelievable.
