Cambridge University’s jelly wrestling event has been resurrected after more than 1,000 people signed a petition to get it back.

The competition, which sees women tackle each other in bikinis in a pool of jelly, was scrapped after protests by the uni’s Women’s Group two years ago.

They branded it ‘misogynistic’ and ‘sexist’.

Not all would agree, however, as it has returned to this year’s calendar by popular demand.

A spokesperson for the Wyverns drinking society, which holds the event, said: ‘Yes, jelly wrestling at the Wyverns’ Garden Party is set to make a return this year in a form never before seen in Cambridge.

‘This decision was not part of some cheap ruse to see women get down to their bikinis, rather it was prompted by a strange twist of fate, the birth of a legend, the discovery of a talent.

‘For this Summer Jelly wrestling shall be hauled from the dark depths of obscurity, no longer tarnished as an alleged clog in the machinations of the patriarchy but placed at the forefront of competitive British sport at Britain’s greatest summertime event.’

Do you think this is ‘misogynistic’ and ‘sexist’?
