EDDIE EATS AMERICA 'AXED' BY DAVE AFTER TWO SERIES

UKTV channel Dave has reportedly shelved its food series Eddie Eats America after two series and a total of twelve episodes.

The series followed Eddie "The Beast" Hall as he tries to conquer the biggest eating and strength challenges that America has to offer. Towering at 6ft 3in tall and weighing in at 26st, Eddie has to consume up to 12,000 calories a day to feed his extreme bodybuilding regime and will now take on everything the most calorific country on the planet can throw at him.

Eddie, 31 from Stoke-on-Trent, will take on iconic eating challenges across the United States, attempting to consume everything from New York's biggest sandwich - 'The Monster' - to 'The Casian Crawfish Challenge' in Houston, a 2lb bowl of crawfish cooked in one of the world's spiciest peppers.

To work up his appetite, Eddie also faced America's toughest and most bizarre tests of strength, including an aeroplane pull, wrestling giant fish - and bending iron bars with his bare hands.
