I paid £80 for a birthday cake for my mum but was baffled when I collected it – it's the opposite of what I asked for
A WOMAN who spent £80 on a birthday cake for her mum was left sorely disappointed when she arrived to pick it up. She'd settled on a classy and elegant cake, with a plain base and tulips around the outside and a plain top. 2 2 But the cake she was given was cream in colour, with purple roses splattered on the side and huge reams of purple frosting on the top. It also appeared to have some pink flowers on the top of it - presumably the baker's attempt to include the requested tulips. "Is it rude that I am disappointed?" she wrote over pictures of the two cakes on her TikTok page. "I wanted this cake for my mum's birthday. I paid £80," she said, showing the design she had wanted. She then shared a picture of the cake she was given, as she said: "I didn't ask for one as big. "Nor is it anything like the photo!" She added in the caption: "Am I in the wrong? I don't want to be/sound rude!" The comments section was immediately flooded with people insisting the woman was entirely within her rights to complain. "Genuinely try everything to get your money back," one wrote. "It's not what you agreed on AT ALL!" Watch savvy mum turn shop cakes into two-tiered personalised birthday cake "Get that charge disputed first of all that's appalling," another added. To which the woman replied: "I don't want to seam rude as the woman seemed so nice. "But that is in no way shape or form is what I asked for." "They scammed you. They're the ones being rude to you!" someone else hit back. As another agreed: "It's not rude, what she delivered doesn't even resemble what you asked for and what I assume she agreed to make!" "The cake you wanted gave Laura Ashley vibes. The cake you got gives B&M vibes," someone else hilariously wrote. How much does a birthday cake cost? The cost of a birthday cake can vary massively depending on where you get it from and how elaborate it is. Basic sponge or character birthday cakes from supermarkets tend to cost between £10 and £20, while large or themed supermarket cakes often vary between £20 and £35. Meanwhile, a small, personalised custom cake from a bakery and/or professional cake decorator can set people back £40 to £60. Medium personalised cakes are often £70 to £100, while large, tiered cakes, can be anywhere from £100 to £300, depending on detail, flavours and toppers. "What the hell is that? That's awful. Please tell me you didn't pay?" another asked. While someone else questioned: "Did you not see it before you left or she left?" "It arrived in a box and at the time I was trying to put it somewhere our cats wouldn't get to," she replied. "By the time I opened it the woman was already gone!" "I'd definitely be complaining and asking for a refund. Could have got better in M&S!" another insisted. "THIS IS CRAZY not even one aspect is like the picture!" someone else pointed out.

Gary Lineker reacts to Match of the Day revamp after controversial BBC axe as show's debut fails to impress
GARY Lineker showed his staunch support for the BBC as he backed its revamped Match of the Day launch following his controversial axe. The popular presenter encouraged fans to stay loyal to the football highlights programme - despite being replaced by after 26 years. 6 6 6 Gary tuned into the new-look series last night as it aired for the first time since his emotional exit in May - with Mark Chapman in the hot seat to kick off the new season. Sharing a snap of him watching on TV, Gary told his social media followers: "Can't miss Match of the Day." He had earlier suggested he was happy to be a spectator from home as she shared his set up on the sofa. "I could get used to this," Gary wrote. Kelly Cates, 49, and 52-year-old Gabby Logan will share hosting duties with Mark as the impressive trio make up the new presenting team on Saturdays. An insider told The Sun: "It's obviously a dramatic change for Gary to be watching from his sofa at home and not in the thick of it. "But he was keen to show his support to the new hosts, by sharing a picture of him tuning in last night. "A lot of other people who left under his circumstances wouldn't have done that. "In face, some perhaps might even actively discouraged others from watching, but Gary doesn't hold a grudge. "He wanted to take the high road and cheer on the new guard to succeed." Gary Lineker signs huge deal with ITV and will host gameshow dubbed cross between I'm A Celeb and SAS Who Dares Wins Broadcaster Chappers, 52, was last night joined by ex-England strikers Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney as they analysed games including Man City's trip to Wolves and Aston Villa hosting Newcastle. However, the show's debut failed to impress with some viewers. One said: "This is exactly why Gary Lineker was well paid for his services. "He had been there, done it, won it, & worn the T-shirt, and was now doing the same thing when presenting a great show with class and charisma. #MOTD is now dead." 6 6 Another added: "Trying to watch MOTD and I miss Gary. It's just not the same. That man was in my life weekly for decades." However, many appreciated that aside from fresh faces, not much had changed on BBC One's flagship football show. A viewer insisted: "Mark Chapman is a fantastic host." Gabby said before the launch: 'The focus is only on us because Gary's leaving and he's such a huge name. 'We're nowhere near the most important people on the show. 'The most important thing is the football, then it's the pundits and what they think about it. 'What people will notice is that there isn't much change.' 'It helps that we're all really different from Gary, in that he goes in with a profile of his own as an England legend,' Kelly added. 'It's a very different career path. An ex-player taking over would be a more direct comparison.' 6 Gary announced in November 2024 he would be stepping down from presenting Match Of The Day at the end of the season, but would still host World Cup and FA Cup coverage. He exited the broadcaster early after apologising for sharing and then deleting a post on his Instagram account from the group Palestine Lobby. It was illustrated with a picture of a rat, which prompted calls for him to be sacked. A statement from Lineker read:"I care deeply about the game, and about the work I've done with the BBC over many years. "As I've said, I would never consciously repost anything anti-Semitic – it goes against everything I stand for. "However, I recognise the error and upset that I caused, and reiterate how sorry I am. Stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action." After this the BBC said Lineker would leave his presenting role following the conclusion of Match Of The Day for the 2024/25 season. The broadcaster added that he would not present its coverage of the 2026 World Cup or next season's FA Cup. It will see 12 celebs put in boxes and given daring challenges, and is touted as the successor to Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.

Match of the Day suffers major blunder as Alan Shearer blasts Milos Kerkez for Bournemouth goal - despite Liverpool left back being subbed off FOUR minutes earlier
In the opening episode of the revamped Match of the Day, veteran pundit Alan Shearer committed a glaring on-air error. The incident occurred during the show's analysis of Liverpool 's 4-2 victory over Bournemouth on Friday, specifically when the Cherries scored their opening goal. Shearer blamed Liverpool left back Milos Kerkez in the build-up to the goal, even though the player had already been subbed off four minutes earlier. As the picture rolled, Shearer was visibly critical of Kerkez's positioning, remarking to host Mark Chapman: 'There's Kerkez, he's on the way to attack when they haven't even got possession, which means he's five or six yards out of position.' An on-screen graphic compounded the blunder by identifying the wrong defender, listing Kerkez instead of Andy Robertson, who actually occupied the full back role during the goal. Social media erupted with quick-witted and critical responses. One X user quipped, 'Kerkez's positioning for the first Bournemouth goal was atrocious. So far out of position, tracksuit on and worst of all sat down.' Another wrote: 'What makes this worse is that it was analysed a full 24 hours AFTER the game had taken place. Lazy punditry or terrible bias.' A third commented: 'Alan Shearer has lost the plot. Also since [Gary] Lineker is gone, what's the point of watching MOTD anymore really?' This was only the opening week of a format overhaul - long-time host Gary Lineker is no longer part of the show, with presenters Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates now sharing duties. To that end, Match of the Day also introduced a fresh pundit: Wayne Rooney, who joined on a reported £800,000-per-year deal. Lineker confirmed his departure from the BBC in May and 'apologised unreservedly' after being accused of anti-semitism after sharing a someone else's social media post. Before he was substituted on Friday, Kerkez had put in a rather underwhelming Premier League debut performance for Liverpool. However, after the game, manager Arne Slot offered an explanation for his withdrawal, explaining it was a precaution as Kerkez was one booking away from suspension.
