Man scoffs 60 Yorkshire puddings in 3 minutes to score British Eating League win

Glory-hungry Kyle Gibson has roasted his rivals in a Yorkshire pudding eating competition – by ­scoffing SIXTY in three minutes.

The 22-year-old reckons he loves them so much he can “eat them hot or cold, for breakfast, lunch, ­dinner or just as a snack”.

He said of his win in the British Eating Leagues contest: “I was always a lover of Yorkshire puddings – that’s probably why I was slightly chubby. I’ve been eating Yorkies every week since I was a kid.

“I’ve been dabbling in competitive eating for four years and I’ve gotten used to ­eating a lot of food in a short space of time.”

Before lifting his prized pud trophy Kyle, of Houghton le Spring, Tyne and Wear, also ate the world’s biggest Yorkie wrap.

The 4ft snack, full of chicken and stuffing, weighed over a stone – and was served with a kilo of roasties.

He said: “It took 15 minutes to finish. It was a complete beast.”

Kyle’s next food challenge is at KFC, where he will try to eat the entire menu.

But he added of his pud prize: “This trophy is my most treasured because it’s the competition that suited me the most.

“I’m not sure anyone will be able to take that title from me – but they’ll have to wait until next year to try.”
