28 July 2026Georgie DockerNorth WestGuinness World Records/Nathan DaviesNathan Davies, 32, ate 15 fish fingers in one minute after promising to break a world record on The 1% ClubA man has broken a world record for eating 15 fish fingers in 60 seconds - after making the promise on a gameshow. Nathan Davies, 32, from Westhoughton, Bolton, claimed the Guinness World Records title for scoffing the most fish fingers in a minute after vowing to do so to Lee Mack, the host of ITV's The 1% Club. The dad of two, who took home £98,000 after winning the show, said he "always has 20 fish fingers in the freezer, so I thought, that one sounds achievable". Davies said he believed he could have eaten more if he had been able to let them cool down, adding: "I'm just happy to have the record. "Davies, who works as a project manager, told BBC Radio Manchester when he decided to apply to be a contestant on The 1% Club he had only ever watched the ITV quiz show once before - adding his brother would often send him the questions.

Ukrainian forces continue to report widespread disruptions to the Starlink satellite network, despite Donald Trump’s claim that Elon Musk had lifted restrictions on the service. The slowdown, which has affected the key communications system used by Ukrainian troops, began last week after Trump and Starlink founder Musk publicly criticised Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, over continued strikes on Russian oil refineries. The restrictions have raised questions and confusion about who ordered the slowdown and why, with both Trump and Musk denying responsibility. “I don’t comment one way or the other,” Trump said on Thursday when asked about reports that he had personally called Musk to demand the restrictions be lifted. “The bottom line: he put it back.”But Ukrainian officials said on Friday morning that speeds remained capped at about 100mph, with no indication that the restrictions had been lifted. “At present, we have not observed any lifting of the restrictions on Starlink,” said Serhii Beskrestnov, a military expert who advises Zelenskyy.
