Claudia getting some Fringe benefits

THE bold Claudia Winkleman has been busy this week. She’s doing some stuff in Edinburgh.

Somebody might want to tell her the Fringe festival has got hee-haw to do with her hair.

She’s also launched a new cookery show with Mary Berry that’s totally nothing like anything they’ve done before. It’s called the Great British Fake Off. In fairness it’s there to replace the Bake Off, which Channel 4 pinched for £75million. Or to put that in BBC terms, 20 Graham Nortons and a Gary Lineker. Claudia claimed she was slightly obsessed with Mary and will follow her around with a moussaka.

At which point some of Mary’s older fans expressed outrage, saying that religious clothing has no place on TV. ● ON THE subject of age, Mary Berry dismissed her maturity, claiming that she wasn’t that old for a cook. She’s right. Mary’s 83 – which probably only puts her at Gas Mark 4.

And from the queen of baking to the actual Queen. It’s been revealed that her maj has four alcoholic drinks per day.

Well I suppose she spends every year in Scotland for her holidays, so some of our habits were bound to rub off.

In response, the Queen’s spokesman released a statement on her behalf, saying: “I pure love you by the way. Geez a kiss. You looking at my crown?” ● A 10-YEAR-OLD boy spotted an error in the labeling of a dinosaur at the Natural History Museum.

The clever lad noted it should have been named as a descendant of the Triceratops.

But instead experts had mistakenly titled it “one of they wans that looks like a lizard crossed with a chicken”.
