About this deal
Put the butter in a saucepan on a medium heat and leave to melt. Increase the heat, bring up to a bubble then swirl the pan occasionally, until the butter smells gloriously nutty and has a fine, cappuccino-like foam on top. Take off the heat, pour into a bowl and leave to cool. Hogan, Michael (18 August 2013). "Bake Off winners: where are they now?". The Observer. p.5. ISSN 0029-7712. ProQuest 1425648664. My decision to do Strictly with Johannes felt different; it wasn’t for affirmation, it was about the LGBTQ+ community in general. Gay stories in the 90s were always salacious and the TV was turned off as soon as they came on in our house. It would have been a real tonic and remedy for me to have seen two men dancing on prime-time television and for it not to have been scandalous. The pressure on Strictly was hard at times, but the impact it had was a beautiful thing. In Asda in Wigan, for example, a burly bloke came up to me near the cottage cheese, saying: “Thank you for what you did – my son came out as gay last week because he knew it was OK.” Put the lemon juice and zest, butter and half the sugar in a medium saucepan and set it over a low heat, until the butter melts. Meanwhile, in a heatproof bowl, whisk the remaining sugar with the egg yolks and cornflour, until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the mix is pale and a little more voluminous.
The show will continue broadcasting on Channel 4 until December 2023, when the current contract expires. Put the cherries, now worse for wear, into a medium saucepan with the sherry and star anise. On a high heat, bring to a boil, then take off the heat and leave to infuse for an hour – make sure the anise remains fully submerged. My parents had several jobs: with three children to bring up and a mortgage to pay, they worked their arses off to survive. If I wasn’t serving people in their chip shop, I’d be in the van with my dad dropping things off for his courier service late into the night. He was also a musician, so I’d be his little roadie. It was an exciting, varied life, and no two days were the same. I was two and a half and sitting on hay bales at my grandad’s farm in this photo. That is where I and my two sisters and cousin would play most weekends. It’s also where we’d do naughty things like wee in Grandad’s wellies. We were quite mischievous.

The teddy is a prop: my dad was an amateur photographer, so he’d set up these lovely shoots every now and again. I’m wearing a Jungle Book T-shirt, not because I liked the film, but because I was obsessed with Sleeping Beauty, and it would have been too far of a stretch in the early 90s to put a boy in that type of T-shirt. I just wanted to be a fairy. I still do! Swain, Marianka (18 December 2021). " Strictly Come Dancing 2021 Final, live: Rose and Giovanni lift the Glitterball in emotional finale".

"Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite tips Luis Troyano as 'dark horse' of competition". Manchester Evening News. These little cakes, which are made with egg whites for extra chewiness and brown butter for such an unmatched depth of flavour, are so simple to throw together (once you’ve made a batch of brown butter, that is, but I consider that an important life skill). If you wanted to drizzle over a little orange blossom honey before serving, that would be delicious, but in their basic, non-honeyed form, and simply dusted with a snowfall of icing sugar, these are perfect. And – win-win – they’re gluten-free, too. As soon as they come out of the oven cover the fresh-baked scones with a clean, slightly damp cloth to keep them soft. Serve with jam and clotted cream.
