VERDICT

VERIFIED CHUFF

Truly confirmed. First person, unprompted. Nobody put the word in their mouth.

Verified chuff, intensity 4: really, really chuffed, a double adverb, and the smile confirms it. The cause is the technical win, which she says she really needed. Two chuffs on the same programme make her the site's first serial chuffer.

More chuffed than at Star Baker, by one adverb. The smile confirms it.
