He looks as if he’d quite like to bash sweet Laura with his rolling pin. ‘I bet she had very neat handwriting at school,’ he says.
Gareth was a bit of a class swot too though. He says he was desperate to please judge Prue Leith.

Kremlin troops launched two attacks on Kyiv late Wednesday and earlier today – one via the besieged western city of Irpin and another through the eastern district of Brovary, with video showing the moment Russian tanks and armoured vehicles were bombarded with artillery in a devastating ambush and forced to turn back. 

 Last year, comedian John Bishop broke his top-of-the-range KitchenAid mixing bowl the first time he used it, and singer Nadine Coyle said she hadn’t done any preparation whatsoever, reasoning that she didn’t want to get nervous.

‘I practised like a madman. I was up at 6.30 every morning making shortcrust pastry.
Did I go in to win? Oh yes. I’m very competitive. What’s the point of doing anything if you’re not going to do your best? Even if you end up coming last, you want the competition to be good.’

In each episode, four celebs attempt to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith in three challenges – the signature, the technical and the showstopper – in the hope of being crowned that episode’s Star Baker.

As for the boys who want to be girls, how often have they been teased because they’re effeminate?
How often have their dads wished they could kick a football? How many of both sexes are gay and should be allowed to grow up as such?

WASHINGTON (AP) – As a Black student who was raised by a single mother, Makia Green believes she benefited from a program that gave preference to students of color from economically disadvantaged backgrounds when she was admitted over a decade ago to the University of Rochester.

Makia Green stands outside her Washington home on June 12, 2023. As a Black student who was raised by a single mother, Green believes she benefited from a program that gave preference to students of color from economically disadvantaged backgrounds when she was admitted over a decade ago to the University of Rochester. As a borrower who still owes just over $20,000 on her undergraduate student loans, she has been counting on President Joe Biden’s promised debt relief to wipe nearly all that away. Now, both affirmative action and the student loan cancellation plan – policies that disproportionately help Black students – could soon be dismantled by the U.S. Supreme Court. (AP Photo/Kevin Wolf)

It is unusual to find a celebrity who’s willing to admit they’re desperate to win these sorts of things. ‘Is it a British thing, do you think?’ he wonders. ‘That reluctance to say you’re competitive.

Like Harry, ‘court jester’ Pelly, 40, moved to the U.S.
to live with his American wife, and he’s now produced his first wine at their vineyard. ‘It was a big moment after three years of hard work,’ he tells me. ‘It was a great vintage with near perfect weather and for young vines we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.’

She was detained, questioned for 14 hours and didn’t sleep for two days. I doubt I would have had such courage. I know what Putin does to his critics. My friend, the fearless Russian reporter Anna Politkovskaya, recovered from an attempt to poison her, but was shot dead in Moscow in 2006.
A critic of Putin, she had campaigned against Russia’s war in Chechnya. I fear Marina’s punishment maybe more than the 30,000 rouble (£220) fine she has incurred. I fear for her life.

In a video message to the besieged nation, Zelensky accused the Kremlin of attempting to seize the capital, overthrow the government and install a ‘puppet’ regime ‘like in Donetsk’, one of two separatist regions which warmonger Vladimir Putin officially recognised before launching an all-out invasion. 

The battle for Kyiv is now underway as Russian tanks this morning pushed to within just a few miles of the city outskirts, analysts and witnesses said, though initial assaults to the west and east were repelled as Putin’s forces face a long and bloody campaign to try and take the capital.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said today that Ukraine’s capital city has been ‘turned into a fortress’ ahead of the Russian assault, with about 2 million people – half the residents of the metro area of the capital – having fled as Putin’s troops draw ever closer.
