Nigeria Irish chef has broken the world record for cooking non-stop, beating Nigeria’s Hilda Baci by more than 24 hours

But now Ms Baci’s record has been replaced by Mr Fisher – who peeled 300kg (661lb) of potatoes as part of his cooking marathon.

• “As fatigue started to take hold I would find it more and more difficult to stay awake whenever I sat down to start peeling,” he said.

• “The rhythm of the peeling would almost hypnotise me. I had one hallucination on the second-to-last day. I turned to ask someone to pass me something, like I would on any normal day only to realise there was no one there.”

Incredibly, Fisher then went on to break the non-stop baking record with a time of 47 hours 21 minutes, GWR said.
