The UK's Number One Professional Eater Eats 19 Chicken Nuggets In 60 Seconds | This Morning

She has become one of the most prominent competitive eaters in the UK and Europe, and last month Leah Shutkever (31) became the proud holder of one of Guinness World Records' most coveted and hotly contested titles, the most chicken nuggets eaten in one minute. In just sixty seconds she ate 352g (the equivalent of 19 nuggets) of the bite-size snack, but this is not the only speed eating record Leah holds! She joined us in the studio to tell us why she does it, and to show us how she does it!

Just to pitch in on the "Adam vs. Leah" conversation downstairs in the comments.

I watch both of them. They're both great competitive eaters.
Personally I think Leah is faster, but Adam can consume more food in one sitting.
So imagine two scenarios:

"Finish X meal as fast as you can"= Leah wins.
"Eat as much of X as you can in Y minutes"= Adam wins.

shes good, shes not UK's no.1 though. that crown is held by Adam Moran aka beard meets food.

[Ummo]

She broke Guinness book of records challenge

[davidcaldwell]

She's amazing I bet its the first time someone has beaten Allison at eating chicken nuggets

[jabbypants]

Adam "Beard Meets Food" Moran is UK No1.

[markdavies]

Alison looks like she has eaten all the nuggets

[scottandrewhorne]

I Would Like To Be Able To Afford Twenty Chicken Nuggets What Do They Cost Now A Grand A Box What With The Cost Of Living Lol

[tescoprimark]

I eat 3-4 pieces of those, I’m done. My metabolism is too slow.

[chrisparti]

When they said 19 nuggets, I was expecting much smaller nuggets than those beasts...

[colinlock-lvvv]

she never smashed it she had 1 second left

[GaryG]

The selection of topic, guest and interviewer is far too ironic for words.

[davedyson]

Leah is lucky she didn’t get eaten, or did she.

[andysteele]

Chicken nuggets? 🫣 Those were big nuggets.

[connagh]

I could eat 20 chicken nuggets in less time than that c’mon maccies nuggets 🥵🤤 hahahaha

[swisstoni]

I thought it was Beard Meets Food... Adam Moran.

[michaelhutchinson]

I didn’t see beard at all? And you said uk number 1?!?!

[truthteller]

Alison Hammond pretending she doesn't eat like that at least 6 times a day!

[zebbula]

Hate when people stuff their face for 15mins of fame and there are children dying of hunger

[killerpoet]

With a drink isn't that hard to do

[englisheats]

Im not a fan of leah every time she is doing a video that someone else has done she makes it a race even if the person like beard meets food was relaxing eating she would eat like its a race then act like shes the best ever for beating someone who wasnt pushing
