Jersey school joins Jamie Oliver world-record cookery class
"Jamie Oliver has done such great work for food teachers and for food as a subject so 100% we were in," Ms Friis told BBC Radio Jersey."It was really fun seeing everybody having ago. We all learned something new and had a great time."
Vene, 13, said: "It's a little bit surprising. I've never done anything like this before, but it's truly an honour to be picked for this."The event took place on Zoom, and participants were required to follow along with the tutorial.
It served as a natural follow-on from the student's recent lessons learning how to cook in the school kitchen."I didn't know how to cook and I was really insecure when I was in the kitchen," said Vene."But these lessons have really taught me how to cook and whenever I have to look after my sister now I can make her a full meal without having any problems."

Vogue Williams admits she's going to be an 'absolute disgrace' ahead of 40th birthday party as she reflects on being 'divorced with no kids' at 30
Vogue Williams admitted she's going to be an 'absolute disgrace' ahead of her 40th birthday party this year. Reflecting on how far she has come after finding herself 'divorced with no kids' at 30, the presenter said she was 'excited' about hitting the milestone. Vogue has now built a happy family life with Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, 36, and together they share three children, Theodore, Gigi, and Otto. But ten years ago her life was very different after divorcing Westlife singer Brian McFadden. Speaking to Heat in an interview from Tuesday's magazine, she said: 'When I approached my 30th, I was like, "Whoops, I'm divorced and have no kids." 'I thought I'd have kids, be married and happy by then. We put so much pressure on ourselves at that age.' Vogue continued: 'But I'm really excited about going into my 40s. I've got such great friends and family. I feel like I've got to a point where I love what I'm doing and doing things I'm proud of. 'If I'd seen what I was doing now 20 years ago, I would have been amazed. It's a privilege to turn 40, and I'm just getting started! 'I'm going to be an absolute disgrace! I'm going to celebrate throughout the year – a big party in Dublin in August and a party in London.' In a candid conversation with Mail columnist Bryony Gordon, 'relationship girl' Vogue, recently revealed she 'thought her life was over' after divorcing Brian on the latest installment of the Mail's 'The Life of Bryony' podcast. She remembered feeling as though she had 'ruined her life' in 2017 after her divorce aged 31. 'I am excited at turning forty', Vogue told the podcast. 'When you are 19 or 20, you think that 40-year-olds are really old and battered. Then you actually get there and you think, this is a really nice moment. 'In your thirties, you are still trying to figure stuff out. I remember being divorced at 31 and thinking, I've ruined my life. I am never going to have kids, I am never going to do what I always wanted to do.' Vogue continued: 'If I'd seen what I was doing now 20 years ago, I would have been amazed. It's a privilege to turn 40, and I'm just getting started! I'm going to be an absolute disgrace!' 'Then you see how your life actually starts to unfold – that's why it feels exciting to move into your forties.' In her eagerly awaited autobiography Big Mouth, Vogue details her struggles with anxiety that have cast a shadow throughout her adulthood. Vogue told Bryony she manages the disorder far better now, with a 'great' and supportive family behind her. However, the model admitted that the 'noise' surrounding her marriage to TV star Spencer still manages to get under her skin. On her anxiety, Vogue explained: 'It's this thing in your life that you wish would just go away. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's a lot worse. 'When I wake up, I am really conscious of any mood I could be in. It's why I don't drink much now because that is something for me that is a huge trigger of anxiety. 'I will always have beta-blockers in the cupboard, but I rarely take them. It depends on what's happening in my life. 'For me now, it's more the outside noise of my job and people outside of my family that stress me out. 'In this industry, certain people are very much out for themselves. The way they portray themselves isn't true - it's not actually who they are.'

Matt Tebbutt throws his support behind John Torode despite being lined up to replace him on MasterChef
SATURDAY Kitchen star Matt Tebbutt has publicly backed John Torode after the BBC asked him to step away from his MasterChef job. Even though Tebbutt, 51, is among the favourites to replace Torode, 59, should he walk away from the programme, he liked the Australian chef's rebuttal of an accusation of racism levelled against him. 5 5 Torode posted a statement on social media last night in which he confirmed he was the unnamed party who allegedly used racist language in a report into former co-star Gregg Wallace's conduct. He insists he has no memory of the incident and denies it ever happened. So far, he has not fallen on his sword and currently remains as the show's host. The claim against him emerged as part of an investigation into his shamed Wallace that saw 45 of 83 allegations of bad behaviour upheld against him. Now Wallace has been axed for good, food critic Grace Dent, who has already led the celebrity version of the show, is a favourite to present the amateur series too, and Tebbutt is also being lined up. It's believed he has already landed the job fronting MasterChef: The Professionals. He has experience of taking over a popular food show after the departure of an established host. Tebbutt replaced James Martin on Saturday Kitchen in 2016 after the Yorkshireman left the Beeb to host his own Saturday morning show on rival network ITV. A TV insider said: 'Both Grace and Matt are well thought of at the Beeb and the one thing they want in the wake of the show's recent crisis is familiarity and safety. 'They're also conscious that having a male and female pairing is a welcome break from it being fronted by two blokes.' Meanwhile, Torode was cited — but not named — in findings published over a racist remark he allegedly made during a private conversation. Torode, who has hosted the BBC1 cooking show with Wallace since 2005, was shocked to be told of the allegation — which did not receive a complaint at the time but had been raised with investigators. 'Devastated' Gregg Wallace FIRED by BBC over MasterChef sexual comments In a farcical turn of events, the BBC was unable to specify the time or date of the allegation, narrowing it down to '2018 or 2019'. Shockingly, sources said the BBC and production company Banijay asked John to resign from the beleaguered show last week and claim he had mental health problems — to which he refused. He issued a statement to The Sun confirming he was the individual in the Wallace investigation who was 'alleged to have used racial language on one occasion'. However John — married to actress and ex-Celebrity MasterChef contestant Lisa Faulkner, 53 — believes it never even happened. The dad of four said: 'The allegation is I did so sometime between 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and the person I was speaking with did not believe it was intended in a malicious way and I apologised immediately afterwards. "I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened 'However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence.' 5 5 It is understood to be the only issue involving him in the report, though a source close to him said he is 'absolutely devastated to have been pulled into this mess'. They went on: 'He was at drinks after filming when he is alleged to have used an inappropriate racial term. "The witness said he apologised instantly, and he was mortified. 'The witness even stated he didn't use the term as a slur. 'No one complained at the time, but it's been brought up during the inquiry. "Shockingly he was only made aware of the incident two weeks ago and was only informed on Friday that it would be upheld." John Torode's statement in full Following publication of the Executive Summary of the Investigation into Gregg Wallace while working on MasterChef, I am aware of speculation that I am one of the two other individuals against whom an allegation has been upheld. For the sake of transparency I confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion. The allegation is that I did so sometime between 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and that the person I was speaking with did not believe that it was intended in a malicious way and that I apologised immediately afterwards. I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened. However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence. The BBC called John on Thursday night, followed by an email on Friday, asking him to step back. He was told to have his answer by Monday. A source claimed: 'They ambushed him, and it was suggested he quit due to the stress and scrutiny of the furore around the show. 'Obviously he was absolutely shocked and appalled and told them quite firmly he didn't have any mental health issues. "To try to use mental health as a get-out clause seems incredibly low — and is also deeply unfair to those with genuine mental health trauma.

Billie Faiers mum-shamed for ‘flaunting wealth' as she throws festival-themed party for Nellie's 11th birthday
BILLIE Faiers has shared details of her daughter's 11th birthday celebrations - but followers are claiming the festival-inspired bash is 'OTT' and 'too much'. Former Towie star Billie shared the epic party labelled 'Nelly-Chella' on social media, which included a candy floss machine, pizza van, DJ, saxophonist and balloon-filled pool party at their Essex mansion. 9 Reality star Billie wrote: "The best day celebrating Nelly's 11th Birthday. Sooooo much fun from start to end. I absolutely love party planning and this theme has to be one of my favourite yet!! "As always thank you to the amazing suppliers that I work with. You all went above and beyond to make things extra special and absolutely nailed the brief to every last detail." Followers commented: "Think I got a tenner in a card for my 11th birthday." "Lovely - but too much!" remarked a second. "No pressure on the other parents then…" observed a third. "Never thought I'd be jealous of an 11-year-old's party," admitted a fourth. "Cannot imagine what the milestone birthdays will look like. Yes they can afford it and good for them, just don't put it on social media," suggested one user. "Nelly-Chella at 11? Nah, p**s off. Too much money." "Spoilt brat," barked another. Billie Faiers slammed for being 'out of touch' as she shows off expensive hot tub "Wow. If this is what happens at an 11th party what on earth will she get for an 18th/21st?" inquired a follower. Another user penned: "I think perhaps the issue some people are having are that it can be misconstrued as showing off. "There's so many people that can't afford to do much with the current climate as it is, so yes, naturally, people will feel like cr*p and maybe even bitter about it. "And that's absolutely okay! It's valid, times are difficult!! Is it extra for an 11-year-old? Yes. If I had their money, would I do the same? Yes! I think I'd go about advertising it differently though." The reality star was slammed by fans last month as she plugged a hot tub freebie on Instagram whilst also having a swimming pool in the background. The video sparked outrage from some followers who claimed the star promoted a product that does not have an 'affordable' price tag at £1,500. Billie shares Nellie, son Arthur and youngest daughter Margot with her husband Greg Shepard. Billie and broker-businessman Greg have been married since 2019 and live in a £1.4 million Essex mansion. It comes after the pair enjoyed a wild celebration for his 40th birthday, boozing on a yacht in Dubai, in March. 9 9 9 9 9 9
