Two men have spent six months eating 350 Easter eggs.

Jeff Pyne and Rahul Patel are professional Easter egg tasters for Tesco.

Rahul, 24, from Barnet said: "There were simply too many products to be sampled by one person - so now there's two of us eating round the clock!

"But there was one minor problem, I didn't really like the taste of chocolate before I was offered this job."

During the course of their 10-year careers, Jeff and Rahul estimate they have eaten their way through a whopping 6,000 eggs and 4,000 boxes of chocolate, the majority of which have been tried at this time of year.

Jeff said: "We may be the envy of kids and all of our female colleagues, but there are downsides. I can never give boxes of chocolates to friends or family who know I get them from work - and trips to the gym have become

an absolute must!"
