How did this get past us? She was banned from Waitrose back in May for shoplifting, eggs of all things. How embarrassing! Couldn't she have at least pulled the pinch at Harrods? Oh well, I guess it could have been worse. She could have done it at Tesco, or God forbid, Co-op.

Maybe she really really needed to bake that day and ran out of eggs. Maybe it was egg and baking withdrawal.

I don't see any plastic surgery? She's just as homely as she ever was. And she certainly hasn't spent a dime on those godforsaken teeth.

Here's another tidbit from the same season . Runner up Ruby Tandoh is a lesbionic. She married her wife in 2018. She claims she's bi, but we all know what that means.
[quote] Tandoh lives with her wife, Leah Pritchard, in Sheffield, where they married in a low-key ceremony on 31 August 2018. In 2020, Tandoh identified herself as bisexual in a tweet.

She was sitting for her final year university exams whilst the show was filming, so she probably was to some extent.

They often had someone who seemed one anxiety attack short of a straight jacket. The other types included mildly eccentric old ladies, men in unexpected occupations (jailer, builder), an artsy character, a no-nonsense older women and at least one gay guy.

That pictures is four years old, r10.
The picture in the news article is the one I was referring to (obviously) and it's from her IG about six months ago. Here's another one if the link works. Maybe it's just makeup on her nose and some teeth whitening, I dunno.

I watched her season last year and she came across as being upper middle class at the very least. Her home (I think she lived with her parents) was rather posh if somewhat rural looking.
She probably had a mental break or is a klepto.

R25 that IG photo is obviously intensely posed for the perfect angle to make her look as good as possible, along with the gobs of makeup they've got on her. It even makes her horrendous teeth look almost normal

This wedding treat tower has Mr Kipling's Bakewell tarts, shop bought mini pavlova nests and snowballs and some flowers shoved around it.
A 13-year-old could have done it for nothing more than cost and Instagram rights, FFS.

Also from Paul, apparently. And then Ruby came out and said she'd rather eat her own foot than seduce anyone on the show to make it to the end.
Then Paul went on the defensive and tweeted back asking why she was dragging him into it (when she hadn't named him).
Then he did an interview and stated in as many words what his magic mirror had been telling him: that Ruby wasn't up to his high standards and one of the other contestants was much prettier, anyway.
Then Ruby tweeted something about a bronze Moby Dick, rented Ferraris, bootcut jeans, and spray tans.
This season could use a bit of that.

More attention from Paul than the others, honestly. Mel and Sue seemed protective of Ruby, which drove me crazy. Ruby seems nice enough now but I could not fucking stand her on the show, she was too whiny and desperate for attention, just acted like a big baby too much of the time.
Loved Kimberley and think people were too hard on her, it was like they were mad that she was so competent.

Mel and Sue were protective of the most random people. They have a soft spot for any thin middle aged gay man who works at his local council.

Ruby played damsel in distress all the time. It obviously worked with Paul. I wasn't aware of R32 but it was clear as day Paul was much more benevolent towards Ruby. They couldn't even edit out the bias.

IMO, Frances was the least deserving GBBO winner. Kimberly should have won. I have no idea who will win the current season. None of them can make a decent brownie so whoever it is won't deserve it.

Shoplifters who aren't broke often are emotionally needy people. My understanding is that the winners often have lost the limelight once a new season has been shown. Some like Nadia have maintained their stardom, but John Waite, whom I guess was an insecure mess, had difficulty once the media and various self-promotion opportunities ended. Frances wasn't so obviously screwed-up, but perhaps experienced the same thing.
