If you're a Corbynista with a fondness for old-school Bake Off we have some very exciting news.
The leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn has reached out to the nation's favourite baker Nadiya Hussain.
The story starts with Hussain opening up about her phobia of manhole covers on Twitter.
Why am I afraid of manhole covers? #StupidQuestionsForGod— Nadiya Jamir Hussain (@Nadiya Jamir Hussain) 1510856221
One fast-thinking Twitter user pointed out that Corbyn is the perfect man for the job.
After all, Corbyn is probably the world's most famous fan of drains.
@jeremycorbyn any chance you could help @BegumNadiya to overcome her fear of manhole covers? https://t.co/q4HZitV7zu— Leo Murray (@Leo Murray) 1510856668
Hussain insisted that such a political heavyweight would not bother with her comparatively inconsequential problem.
He’s busy trying to sort out a bigger mess. Let’s not waste his time 😉 https://t.co/4iK6n9tOhc— Nadiya Jamir Hussain (@Nadiya Jamir Hussain) 1510858365
But Mr Corybn refused to let a chance to promote manhole covers go amiss.
@BegumNadiya Hi Nadiya, happy to help.— Jeremy Corbyn (@Jeremy Corbyn) 1510867230
And the duo have become the dream team no one knew they needed.
