The Great British Bake Off fans were left divided as Georgie Grasso was declared the 2024 champion, beating the series favourite to the title. After a suspense-filled series hosted by Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding, the final three bakers were Georgie, 34, Christiaan de Vries, 34, and Dylan Bachelet, aged 20. The finalists' first challenge in the tent involved crafting scones. They later had to impress the judges with an afternoon tea assortment. The last task required them to construct an intricate hanging celebration cake. With the tension escalating, Alison declared: "This is the bake between winning or losing," reports Wales Online . The finalists took on their last challenge on The Great British Bake Off (Image: Channel 4) As the pressure intensified, Christian, Georgie, and Dylan began to exhibit signs of anxiety under the scrutinising gaze of judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, along with hosts Alison and Noel. For fan favourite Dylan, who had been performing well in the competition, things took a turn for the worse as he grappled with the consistency of his genoise sponge in the final round. This led fans to speculate that Christian, who remained composed under pressure, could snatch the victory from him. Meanwhile, Georgie also encountered her own set of challenges during her final showstopper, as she seemed to forget what she was doing. Retreating to the back of the tent, Georgie pondered aloud: "What am I doing here? " What did I come over here for?" Georgie didn't think she could scoop the win (Image: Channel 4) Georgie, amidst her initial perplexity, emerged triumphant following three nail-biting rounds. For her concluding showstopper, Pru lauded Georgie's cake as "absolutely delicious," with both Pru and Paul in agreement about its extraordinary presentation. Yet, this verdict left some watchers befuddled who took to social media platform X to express their bewilderment. A viewer pondered: "How on earth has Georgie won?" An additional comment came in: "I'm happy for Georgie BUT Dylan is probably the best contestant this show has ever had. Such a weird result." Georgie was crowned the winner of the show (Image: Channel 4) However, several fans celebrated Georgie's triumph, one viewer praised: "Bravo Georgie, well done!" Another added: "Go Georgie... well deserved Welsh winner." The children's nurse from Carmarthenshire, said of her final contest, "the most challenging bake I've ever done". She admitted: "When I saw the brief, I thought, game over. "It took a lot of thought and planning to be able to make it work. I practised about three times. I wanted the judges to really see a piece of me in the bake, through my choice of colours and tastes. Undoubtedly, the most taxing part was the assembly combined with managing the time constraints." The mother of three opened up about the significant sacrifices required to stay in the contest, admitting: "Ive had to put the family on the back burner which has been really hard. I've had to tell the kids 'no' a lot." The Great British Bake Off is available to watch on Channel4.com.Tottenham forced to expedite squad revamp as another key man suffers injury

Warren Buffett reveals brutal rule all parents must follow to keep their family together READ MORE: Warren Buffett says why he won't leave his money to his children By LAUREN ACTON-TAYLOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 21:25 GMT, 26 November 2024 | Updated: 21:28 GMT, 26 November 2024 e-mail 5 View comments America's most famous investor has given advice for all parents - regardless of wealth - to let kids read their will. Warren Buffett said parents of either 'modest or staggering wealth' should let their children read their will before they sign it . The father of three, who has amassed a $150 billion personal fortune, advised parents in a letter on Monday that each child should 'understand the logic for your decisions and the responsibilities they will encounter upon your death'. 'If you have any questions or suggestions, listen carefully and adopt those found sensible,' Buffet said. 'You don't want your children asking 'Why?' in respect to testamentary decisions when you are no longer able to respond.' A certified financial planner, Douglas Boneparth, told CNBC that he agreed with Buffett's advice. 'These are tough conversations to have, but they're meaningful and when approached correctly, can strengthen relationships,' he said. 'You want your children to have realistic expectations about their inheritance.' Boneparth, founder and president of Bone Fide Wealth in New York City , added: 'Kids' imagination can run wild with what they think they should be getting.' Billionaire Warren Buffett told parents to let their kids read their will before they sign it He added that parents should be as clear and thorough as possible about who will receive what and why, so that any tensions or hurt feelings can be addressed while you're there to answer. 94-year-old Buffett recalled in his letter that over the years he has witnessed 'many families driven apart after the posthumous dictates of the will left beneficiaries confused and sometimes angry. 'Jealousies, along with actual or imagined slights during childhood, became magnified.' Boneparth added that it's important to explain why certain inheritance may not be split equally and why. For example, one child might be more financially stable and another might need more help. Carolyn McClanahan, founder of Life Planning Partners in Florida, said that parents should also be mindful of their child's financial situation and history when deciding to discuss their inheritance. She said that in rare cases, it might be advisable for parents to be more cautious with a child who has exploited them financially or if a child is irresponsible with jobs or money. Learning that they stand to inherit a large sum could deflate their ambitions and any drive to succeed on their own even further. Buffett also talked about why he will not be leaving his large fortune to his children , but instead giving away 99 percent of the money he's made through his company Berkshire Hathaway.

'I know the three well and trust them completely. Future generations are another matter. Who can foresee the priorities, intelligence and fidelity of successive generations to deal with the distribution of extraordinary wealth amid what may be a far different philanthropic landscape?' He named three independent trustees to oversee his philanthropy following his three children, anticipating that his wealth may take longer to disburse than his children live. Alongside the appointment of trustees, Buffett also donated an additional $1.1 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock to his family's four charitable foundations. The identity of the trustees is not known, but he said each is well known to his children. 'They are also somewhat younger than my children,' Buffett wrote. 'But these successors are on the wait list. I hope Susie, Howie and Peter themselves disburse all of my assets.' Buffett has been making yearly donation to the four family foundations since 2006. These are The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation - which is named after his late wife - The Sherwood Foundation, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation and NoVo Foundation.

The 28-year-old said on X after Sean Dyche’s side had lost 2-0 to Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park on Sunday: “Whenever I’m having a bad day I just check the Everton score and smile.” Former boxer Tony Bellew was among the Toffees’ supporters who responded to Maupay, with the ex-world cruiserweight champion replying on X with: “P****!” Maupay endured a miserable spell at Everton, scoring just one league goal in 29 appearances after being signed by the Merseysiders for an undisclosed fee in 2022. He departed on a season-long loan to his former club Brentford for the 2023-24 season and left Goodison for a second time in August when Marseille signed him on loan with an obligation to make the deal permanent. After leaving Everton in the summer, Maupay outraged their fans by posting on social media a scene from the film Shawshank Redemption, famous for depicting the main character’s long fight for freedom.

Manfred poured cold water on the idea Thursday, just a few days after , per . Speaking at an event at the Italian American Baseball Foundation in New York, he made clear the idea is nowhere close to becoming a reality. From : "For people who are concerned about that kind of change, I'd make a couple of points," Manfred said. "No. 1: It has come out that I have spoken publicly about this kind of change a few years ago, that I was not particularly in favor of it, and that remains the case. But more importantly: To go from the conversation stage to this actually showing up in Major League Baseball is a very, very long road. If you don't like the idea, I wouldn't be that concerned about it right now." The debate about the golden at-bat began Monday, when drew attention to comments Manfred made on in October. The comments were made in passing during a 37-minute conversation and drew little notice at the time, when the MLB postseason was still ongoing. However, presented this week, the idea got plenty of attention. Here's what Manfred said: "There are a variety of things that are being talked about out there," Manfred said of discussions around rule changes. "One of them — there was a little buzz around it at an owners' meeting — was the idea of a golden at-bat — that is putting your best player out there out of order at a particular point in the game. That rule and things like that are in the conversation-only stage." Essentially, Manfred was suggesting a system in which the Los Angeles Dodgers could swap out one of their weaker hitters for Shohei Ohtani in a key at-bat late in the game, while still keeping Ohtani in his usual spot in the batting order. Manfred has discussed a number of rule changes during his tenure as commissioner and instituted quite a few, mostly with success. Among the changes to be added are the pitch clock, the three-batter minimum for relievers, the limits on pick-off attempts, the extra-inning ghost runner, limits on defensive shifts. Some of those ideas were controversial, but had their supporters inside and outside the game. This one, however, saw an almost universally negative response. Stark talked to a number of players who were against it, such as Freddie Freeman: “No, no, no,” Freeman told Stark. “I’m old-school, you know, even as a young guy. I like baseball. I’m a baseball purist. So I’m gonna go no.” Fans on social media were similarly critical, such as in . Essentially, fans didn't like the idea of making a change purely to add drama, especially in a sport where tradition is vital to the game's fabric. Manfred insisted the idea was little more than the germ of an idea, while wanting other leaders in the sport to continue brainstorming ideas to improve the game. From : "It was a very preliminary conversation which did create some buzz," Manfred reiterated on Thursday. "I do encourage the owners to have conversations about the game."
