Jack and Jill accidentally win wheel of Gloucestershire cheese

A pair of children named Jack and Jill have accidentally won a wheel of cheese after falling down Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire. 

Jack and Jill, who finished first and second respectively, won the annual cheese-rolling event in Brockworth yesterday, taking home a wheel of Double Gloucester as their reward.

“We only went up the hill to fetch a pail of water,” said the eventual winner, Jack. 

“The next thing you know I’m falling arse-first down this massive hill, followed by Jill closely behind. I’m not complaining, mind you. The wheel of cheese looks really nice. It’ll be lovely with some crackers and a bit of butter.

“The only negative is my head is absolutely killing me. All I remember is getting to the top of the hill and then slipping on some wet mud. I must’ve been concussed or something because I could’ve sworn I rolled past a guy dressed as Superman on my way down. 

“I’ve promised to halve the wheel with Jill. I never meant for her to come tumbling after me. It’s actually quite a dangerous competition really. I’m not sure why people are risking broken arms and legs just for a bit of cheese.

“This Double Gloucester must be like crack.”
