Maggie Beer has celebrated her 80th birthday.
The beloved celebrity chef's official Instagram account shared a video of her celebrating her milestone birthday with loved ones and the caption: “We would like to wish our wonderful Maggie a very happy 80th birthday today!
"A true icon, and much loved by everyone. Thank you for always inspiring us and providing us with the most delicious recipes & products.
"We love you Maggie."
Fans across the nation were quick to send their birthday wishes to the celebrity chef, with many thanking her.
“Many happy returns Maggie! Thank you for being a great source of joy for us all,” one wrote.
“Bless you Maggie. Happy birthday and thank you for all that you have done, especially for Aged Care," another commented.
“Have a great Birthday Maggie 80 wow have a fantastic day,” commented another.
“Happiest of birthdays to Mrs Maggie Beer a national treasure and Australian icon thanks for all you do love your work !!”
“Happy Birthday Maggie – you are unstoppable and we love you heaps.”
The birthday celebrations come after a rough year Beer, as she continues to recover following a fall at her home in 2024.
At the time, her family shared on social media that while she had suffered a couple of injuries including "minor bone fractures", she was being taken care off by her doctors who "are confident she will make a full recovery".
In a recent interview with The Australian, Beer revealed that she has "come such a long way" in her recovery journey, and learned a few valuable lessons.
“I’ve come such a long way, considering I’ve been home from hospital for a month and when I first came home I’d be up for an hour and back to bed for an hour,” she told the publication at the time.
“Yesterday, I was up all day without resting – that is a monumental step forward. Full recovery takes time and I’m not the most patient person in the world.
“So I’m learning to be a different kind of person, accepting that things go slowly sometimes.”
