A gut-busting eating record set by Libertines frontman Pete Doherty seven years ago has finally been smashed – twice.

Canadian Joel Hansen became the first person to conquer the mega breakfast challenge since the Don’t Look Back Into the Sun singer in 2018.

It consists of four eggs, four bacon slices, four sausages, a quarter-pound beef burger, hash browns, mushrooms, chips, onion rings, bubble and squeak, beans or tomatoes, two slices of bread, and a mug of tea or coffee.

The challenge is to clear the plate – which includes a kilo and a half of chips – in under 20 minutes.

Doherty managed it in just under 20 minutes.

But Joel polished it off in just 12 minutes and 13 seconds even downing most of a second cup of tea.

Astonishingly he then became the first to ever demolish a second mega breakfast this time in 15 minutes 30 seconds the same day.

That was also faster than anyone had ever done the challenge before.

In over 20 years only 11 people had cleared one plate out of the thousands who had tried at the Dalby Cafe, in Margate, Kent.

Owner Mark Ezekiel was so sure Josh couldn’t tackle a second plate that he offered him £2,000 if he did, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Ahead of the challenge, Mark told Joel: “On average we get five people a week trying it.

“It’s bigger than it looks.

“Nobody has ever tried two – you’ll struggle with one.

“It’s not possible anyone can do two.

“There’s no way you can do two.”

But after Joel finished the second platter a stunned Mark conceded: “I can’t believe it.

“I thought you’d struggle with one.

“I can’t believe it.

“I had to watch carefully to see you’d done it – unbelievable.

“We had loads of people try it after Peter Doherty in 2018 but nobody has done it since then.

“I can’t believe you did the two.

“I’m out of pocket.”

And Joel, 29, quipped: “That’s okay, I take PayPal.”

He also complimented the food.

“It was really delicious

“I definitely enjoyed it,” he said.

“The eggs especially.

“Is there dessert?”

Joel stayed at the Old Town House in Margate the night before and took a quick tour around the Old Town, seafront and College Square on the morning of his challenge.

Despite being slapped with a parking ticket he said the town was “cute, quaint and charismatic,” although he was not so keen on the wake-up call from the seagulls!

Mark said YouTube star Joel even managed to eat gracefully with little mess.

He added: “No one has done the breakfast since Pete Doherty.

“Joel approached me to come in and try. I expected him to finish in record time.

“Never in a million years did I think he could manage two and both in record time.

The Dalby Café is one of Margate’s oldest, opening just after the Second World War in 1946.
