Finger lickin' could? Fan of Jamie Marinos petitions KFC to have a menu item named after the MAFS star
It appears that Jamie Marinos could be eyeing off a career as a fast food maven. A fan of the Married At First Sight star has petitioned take away giant KFC to name a menu item after the reality show favourite. Jamie, 28, took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday to share an image of the direct message exchange, including KFC's surprising reaction. 'Hey KFC because you work with MAFS and Channel 9 I think a Jamie box would sell great,' the fan identified by Jamie as Emily wrote. The fan added that they knew of Jamie's apparent distaste for bones in her chicken, adding that they were willing to get a petition up and running for a boneless Jamie box. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Talk to her about it, but she hates bones in her chicken, and personally I know at least 400 people that would buy it or sign a petition or buy a boneless Jamie meal.' The fan seemed to have quite a rare insight into Jamie's preferences when it came to chicken. They added that the Jamie box would be a success regardless of what items were included, provided the chicken was served sans bones. 'No matter what actual chicken she puts in - ask her, but she loves tenders and popcorn chicken and nuggets,' they said. 'Just charge a bit more cause it's Jamie and I'll pay.' In a case of serendipitous coincidence, the request did not immediately fall on deaf ears, as they person who received the message bore the same name as the reality star. 'As my name is Jamie, I would also love this box,' the KFC customer service representative replied. It appears that the concept might have some legs, with KFC Jamie telling the fan that she had passed the request up the food chain. 'Hey KFC because you work with MAFS and Channel 9 I think a Jamie box would sell great,' the fan, identified by Jamie in an Instagram post as Emily, wrote. 'No news yet, however I have passed this onto marketing so, stay tuned.' Captioning the image Jamie wrote: 'This was sent to me by a baddie named Emily. 'This is why I love y'all. You guys are out there trying to get KFC boxes named after me, she added, augmenting the sentiment with a heart hands emoji. Jamie's potential shift into the world of take away chook, comes after she revealed the surprising way she eats sausages. In an Instagram Stories post on Wednesday, the Married At First Sight bride confessed that she cannot eat the ends. 'I refuse to eat the end of sausages' she said alongside an image of a bunch of pieces left on her plate and said it was a 'strange fact' about her. In a second post, Jamie said that she was inundated with messages from people who agreed. 'I stand corrected there is a whole a** community of us who refuse to eat ends of sausages' she wrote. Jamie was also recently forced to set the record straight after fans started speculating she might be pregnant. The 29-year-old reality star sparked baby rumours over the weekend after appearing in a gallery of snaps from Voir Vodka dinner at Bar Bambi in Melbourne, which she attended alongside her co-stars Eliot Donovan and Teejay Halkias. The images, shared by @mafsgossip, included a shot of Jamie posing with Eliot - who she has been romantically linked to in recent months - wearing a sleek all-black outfit which seemed to hint at a small bump. 'Is it me or does Jaime look like she's got a bump?' one fan commented, while another added, 'Just don't know if it's a baby bump or photo-shopped to look like it. But 100% it's a bump!' But Jamie wasted no time shutting down the speculation, jumping into the comments to address the chatter directly. 'I'm going to blame the lighting on that, because it does and I can assure you there's no bump,' she wrote, adding a laughing emoji.

American 'mind blown' over key difference after visiting Tesco store in UK
American mum Paige Wester, who is now living in England, has gone viral after demonstrating just how different the US and UK are when it comes to certain supermarket items An American mum residing in the UK was left utterly baffled after comparing a Tesco store to supermarkets in the US. Across the pond, you'll find super-sized bottles of milk, an insane range of crisp (or should we say chips?!) flavours - and even entire aisles dedicated to ranch dressing. For us Brits, roaming around a Walmart and stacking up on never-seen-before sweets and chocolates is actually pretty fun, and perhaps it's the same for Americans shopping at Tesco or Sainbsury's for the first-ever time. Paige Wester, who is a mum to a toddler and expecting her second child, recently took to TikTok to reveal one key difference she spotted in supermarkets since arriving in England. And no, it isn't Yorkshire Tea... READ MORE: Martin Lewis MSE names 5 major banks paying bonus over £175 including Nationwide "I will never get over how inexpensive baby items are here," the mum said in the now-viral video. "Let me just show you how cheap baby products actually are." Paige compares a pack of 60 Tesco-owned nappies (which she refers to as diapers) for £6.50, while a more premium band costs £5.50 for a 44-pack. In the US, a 56-pack of Huggies Little Movers nappies at Walmart costs $28.22 (which works out at around £20.71). "Like that is so cheap," she added. "Just a single pack of wipes is 55p." Again, in the US a similar product costs around $3 (£2.22) which is more than four times the price. "Now we're going to go to the baby formula because this will actually blow your mind," Paige said, pointing to a large tub of Kendamil formula. "This brand in America I think is like $35 and here it's £12..." "Now I'm going to show you like toddler snacks, pouches, and all that stuff. I love this Ella's Kitchen brand and for just one pouch it's £1.30. Baby food is just 80p per jar. Let me preface this with the fact that I'm in Tesco right now, which is very similar to an American grocery store - but you can definitely get all of these baby items a lot cheaper somewhere else if you wanted." Lastly, the mum hailed how children's medicine is 'super cheap' in the UK compared to across the pond. "Calpol is only £3.15," she said. "Obviously some of the 'boujier' brands are a little bit more expensive but it's not bad. A baby should not break the bank - period!"

"I just moved here with my British hubby to start a family and just know this was the right decision - it feels so validating," one person hailed. Another agreed, commenting: "As a Brit I honestly almost cried when I ran out of nappies on my last day in the USA and had to buy them," while a third added: "I couldn't believe when I went to Target and saw a tub of Kendamil was $30." However, many viewers rightfully pointed out that average salaries in the US tend to be higher than in the UK. According to reports, the median weekly earnings of the nation's 122.1 million full-time wage and salary workers in the US was $1,118 in the third quarter of 2023. In the UK, this was just £682.
