A fry-up with six of everything... could you tackle the Six Nations challenge?
DESPITE being 5ft 2ins and 10st, I've always been proud of the amount I can eat.
So I jumped at the chance to be the first female to tackle the Six Nations breakfast.
The Friar Tuck's landlord, Mark Holder, seemed shocked that I was going to attempt it.
Also taking part was Lee Miller, who's double my weight and had been training for the challenge, which is raising funds for Ronald McDonald House. The charity helped when Lee's 14-week-old daughter Ruby-Leigh was being treated for a virus at Bristol Children's Hospital.

We had an hour to get through the overwhelming pile of food – 10,000 calories' worth.
Lee's quick start put me to shame, but within 10 minutes he was flaking and sweating. My slow and steady technique started catching him up.
But with expanded stomachs and feeling sick, we both gave up after 50 minutes.
The challenge cost £15 – which is refunded if you scoff the lot. It will be taking place on weekends during the Six Nations. To take part, call 01452 72 0312.

“Considering that as a nation we are being constantly told that we are becoming more and more obese. I would say that anything that encourages and promotes gluttony is pretty irresponsible. 10,000 calories is the recommended 5 days worth of food for a man, there is nothing to be proud of by stuffing yourself for 50 minutes until you feel sick. Pity they couldn't have dreamed up something healthier, like a half marathon to get some of their flab off instead.”

“Overeating to promote McDonald's. Offensive. Another new low for TiG.”

“Seems a bit ironic to pig yourself for charity when there are millions in the world that rely on charity for food.”

“It must have been a very proud moment for someone who's already overweight to attempt to consume such a hideous number of calories in one sitting.”
