World Cup of Biscuits rocked by “Jaffagate” – are Jaffa Cakes really a biscuit?
Everyone’s favourite quiz show sidekick, Richard Osman, is hosting a glorious World Cup of Biscuits on Twitter to find the nation’s favourite biscuit. And a very marvellous thing it is too, all in aid of Comic Relief.
Still a few very close ones there. And I can’t believe the Hobnob is currently beating the Digestive #wcob

Osman is a bit of an expert at this sort of thing, having previously run “World Cups” of chocolate, crisps and Christmas movies.

Only one hitch – was he right to include Jaffa Cakes?
Do please keep retweeting this. It would be totally helpful for me to win this vote. https://t.co/AInO4vlg3Q

Okay, let’s deal with this controversy. Is it right that Jaffa Cakes are in the World Cup Of Biscuits? Please RT #wcob

It’s not the only reason emotions are running high.
The Custard Cream must prevail against this transatlantic excuse for a biscuit! Say no to Oreo! 🇬🇧 https://t.co/QzOkf57w4Q

There’s no football World Cup this year, or Euros, or Olympics. Thank goodness, then, for the World Cup of Biscuits.
And don’t forget, if you’re enjoying the World Cup Of Biscuits this is something you can do! @rednoseday pic.twitter.com/Q8VjXG17ZZ

Donald Trump’s voting for Orange Club, obviously.
