The Challenges
Our evil panel sits around a big table and comes up with challenges to push the Great British public to their eating limits. Here are our top pics for 2017….
606 Sausage Challenge
It sounds complex, but it isnt – competitors eat as much sausage as they can.
Chilli Challenge
Hot, hot and hotter. If it gets too hot there is a pint of milk (then you’re out!). Medics will be on hand.
Treat Challenge
Teams of two take on a mammoth sweet treat… with a nice little twist.
