A seven-year-old boy got more than he bargained for after biting into a deep-fried paper towel at KFC.
Krystal Henderson, 29, purchased a chicken meal as a treat for her step-son Oliver Hallam from the Killingworth branch on Tyne and Wear.
To her disgust instead of finger-licking meat, the child instead locked his lips around a finger-wiping blue hand roll.
Nursery nurse Krystal, from Gosforth, Newcastle, said: "I got a shock. I thought the actual chicken had gone off. All it was inside was deep fried blue roll.
"If it was bad chicken they might have just had a bad batch or something, but the blue roll could have been used for anything - it could have bleach or disinfectant on it.
