Food YouTuber smashes record in Gordon Ramsay’s pizza slice challenge
How many slices of pizza could you eat in two hours? Whatever number you have in your head, we guarantee it won’t be as much as food YouTuber BeardMeatsFood managed. The competitive eater, real name Adam Moran, is a hugely popular content creator with tens of millions of views on YouTube. Adam, who is from Castleford, Yorkshire, has travelled all over the world taking on hundreds of eating challenges and he’s rarely been beaten. His most recent video, which has already racked up four million views in the space of just 24 hours at the time of writing, saw him take on the record at Gordon Ramsay’s Street Pizza. The restaurant offers a deal that lets customers eat as much pizza as they want across two hours, for the price of £17. The staff also keeps track of the highest number of slices people have managed, and before Adam sat down to eat it was a whopping 38. However, it wasn't long until Adam was at the top of the leaderboard. TRYING TO BEAT THE SLICE RECORD AT GORDON RAMSAY'S BOTTOMLESS PIZZA RESTAURANT! | BeardMeatsFood www.youtube.com “Buckle up folks, it’s going to be a bumpy ride,” Adam said, before putting in an impressive performance to smash the record. Thanks to a bit of yoga beforehand, he managed to break the highest score and eat a whopping 48 slices within two hours. “That was hard work but we got it done, new record 48 slices,” he said. “Come down, see if you can beat it. Or actually don’t, just have one of their regular pizzas.” Seriously impressive stuff – surely even Ramsay himself would give him that.

Only Fools and Horses fans shocked at Uncle Albert's 'ripped' physique
Uncle Albert was a key part of the success of the timeless comedy Only Fools and Horses for years, but people are only just releasing how ripped he is. Only fools and horses work out, it seems… Buster Merryfield played the part of Rodney and Del Boy’s uncle on the hit show from series four onwards, replacing the late Lennard Pearce who played Grandad. His character was known for living an unhealthy lifestyle, smoking and drinking as he regaled Rodney and Del Boy with tall tales from his time in the Navy. But the reality couldn’t be further from the truth, as Merryfield was the model of health off-camera. He spoke back in 1997 revealing that he’d never smoked or drank in his life, and use to be a successful boxer in his youth. Merryfield was a keen exerciser too, swimming regularly well into his 70s. The last episode may have aired back in 2003, but people are only just appreciating how jacked Uncle Albert was in the show. A Twitter/X user shared a pair of screengrabs from the series, adding the caption: “Is it just me or is Uncle Albert f***ing hench?” The post sparked a big reaction from fans of the show, with one joking: “Well he did used to box in the Navy.” Another vibed: “This is the standard old man build for Peckham, only way to have survived it back then. Hit the weights or get weighed in.” "Buster Merryfield was a unit mate... Had great shape, you wouldn't want to receive a real life 'Trotter's Trembler',” another commented.
