Here’s a final word from our custard finalists! Can they sway your decision???
Janet Ellis
“I made a bowl out of wire coat hangers and sticky backed plastic and filled it with Birds Custard!”
Peter Purves
“There was no sticky backed plastic left so I simply ate 32 cans of custard in a single sitting!”
Anthea Turner
“I hate Janet Ellis so I tied 25 of Peter’s empty custard tins to her Vauxhall Corsa and put the rest through her letterbox!”
Ice – T
“You’re just a toy punk to mess with that junk
You want some real dope, come look in my trunk
The dope I’m sellin’ is life, a hundred per cent legit
So get real, fool, and try some real custard made with Madagascan vanilla”.
Jenny Powell
“ I live next to Janet Ellis and that was my Vauxhall Corsa and my letterbox. You’re dead Turner you idiot”.
Popular William Shakespeare impersonator Sir Kenneth Branagh was going to enter but instead he said this:
“What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! in form, in moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust if it is not a 300g tin of custard powder which makes up to 34 portions?”
I bet that helps you make your decision!

It’s Janet Ellis for me every time, despite Sophie Ellis Bextor.
Icey – T Icey – T Icey – T Icey – T Icey – T!
I was going to vote for Ice T as his rapping thing was very good but Anthea’s leather look is more my thing you know. I wear something similar in the abbatoir.
ICE – T IS THE KING OF CUSTARD! FREAKIN’ YES!
Goddamnit. Too late. Jenny Powell all the way.
We’ve just heard from Ice-T and he’s stoked to be made 2017 Custard King! Here’s what he said in full:
Here I come, so you better break North,
As I stride, my gold chains glide back and forth.
I care nothing bout you, and that’s evident.
All I love’s my dope and bowls and bowls of custard.
