This Easter, one NHS doctor is warning people not to eat entire chocolate eggs in one sitting.

 Dr Andrew Kelso has written an open letter claiming the average Easter egg contains three-quarters of an adult's recommended daily calorie intake- and urged people to practice moderation.

People on social media have taken this as a challenge, with Nigel Farage eating an Easter egg on his live GB News show to protest the 'nanny state'.

UK correspondent Enda Brady says obesity and Type 2 diabetes are on the rise in the region, so the warning holds weight.
