Hugh Grant trends after BBC News report trip to bakery

Hugh Grant’s trip to a bakery in Frome was deemed newsworthy enough to be reported by the BBC today.

The actor and media campaigner was spotted in the Somerset town on Tuesday shopping at Parsons bakery in Badcox where he bought a bacon roll, a coffee and a custard slice, the broadcaster announced.

Sophie Jayne Ilott served him and said he was a “very polite and well-spoken gentleman”.

But the news has surprised many on social media, especially considering the backdrop of an ongoing pandemic, cronyism scandal and riots in Northern Ireland.

Rob Norwood compared the story to something out of Alan Partridge, suggesting a new series called ‘Loafing with the stars’ where celebrities are documented buying different bread products.

Siobhan Benita referenced the recent Colin the Caterpillar news to demonstrate how un-newsworthy Grant’s trip really was:

I adore Hugh Grant (who doesn’t?) but unless he was buying a caterpillar cake, surely this is not news….

While others pointed to other under-reported news items:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
