WHO ATE all the pies? It's an age old question but here's one fella who has gone through a few in his time.
And, daft as it sounds, Eric Twigg's fondness of the odd pie or three has put him in the perfect shape to become a sporting world champion.
Eric and his team from Twigg's Foods of Rotherham, are being hotly tipped to make a big splash at this year's World Water Bombing Championships after finishing runners up last year.
But Eric, who is a director of the firm, is not only taking part - his firm has sponsored the event at Ponds Forge on Wednesday April 30.
He said: "This is a fantastic event which was great fun to be involved with.
"Last year our team managed an impressive silver but were beaten to the gold by the Sheffield Amateur Dive team reserves."
All money raised from the event will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support in Sheffield, and the charity is looking for teams of four to enter.
Bombers will jump from a three-metre board, with scores given for the biggest splash and best technique.
There will also be a prize for the best fancy dress costume.
No experience is necessary as training on technique is provided. Prizes are awarded for best water bombing team, best water bomber and best fancy dress costume.
