[34] Personal life [ edit ] 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. August is the perfect month for afternoon tea, which could never be complete without some fresh-baked scones, served with jam and clotted cream. John shows us how to make his showstoppers.Continue mixing the butter and sugar on a medium speed while gradually adding the beaten eggs. Once added, gently stir in the flour and whizzed pistachios, followed by the soured cream, using a large metal spoon. Divide the mixture among the sandwich tins as evenly as you can, using a palette knife to smooth the tops and create a slight dip in the centre (which helps create a level sponge). Bake in the centre of the oven, ideally on the same shelf (but without the tins touching) for 19-23 minutes. The cakes are ready when they’re springy to the touch and starting to come away from the edges. At the time, Channel 4 credited Steph, 41, for making lunchtimes across the nation ‘more entertaining’, adding: ‘Steph has not only made the nation’s lunchtimes more entertaining and brilliantly reflected the views and pre-occupations of the country, but the show has also been an outstanding springboard for developing local talent behind the scenes.’ Concluding his lengthy post, John quipped: ‘Maybe it’s time to start selling photos of my bare arse on OnlyFans, again…’ Toss the flours and baking powder together and put into a mixing bowl with the butter. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers and thumbs, until it resembles inelegant breadcrumbs. First stir together the milk and the lemon juice and set to one side to allow the lemon juice to curdle the milk. This creates a more acidic liquid, which will react with the bicarbonate of soda in the baking powder to give more of a rise to the scones.

Once the sponges have cooled, begin layering up the cake on a stand or plate. Use about a quarter of the icing between each sponge, then use the remaining icing to completely cover the top and sides of the cake, using a palette knife. If the cake feels like it’s sliding around a bit, pop it in the fridge for 20 minutes before adding the outer icing. It can also help to spread a very thin layer of icing over the outside of the cake, known as a crumb coat, then chill again before adding the final layer of icing. It helps prevent lots of crumbs getting pulled into the icing and keeps everything more stable. Add the curdled milk, and bring together in the bowl with your hands or a wooden spoon until you have a reasonably even dough, then lightly flour the countertop and just fold the dough over a few times until it comes together and is fairly smooth.
