Kylie Jenner fries an egg and strips off after picture of shelled snack smashes her Instagram record

Kylie Jenner has finally cracked after finding out she lost her most liked Instagram record… to an egg.

Jenner was usurped by a picture of a speckled egg which has amassed over 39 million likes, compared to her 18.4 million for a picture of her daughter Stormi Webster which was posted days after she gave birth last February.

Jenner responded by sharing an old video of herself frying an egg in the Los Angeles sun, captioning the shot: “Take that little egg.”

Fans were in hysterics over the post, with one suggesting they attempt to “get the record back” with the video, while others joked that Jenner is “jealous”.

Jenner followed up the post with a sultry selfie for Calvin Klein. The mother-of-one can be seen posing in matching black underwear and a white jacket.

The now famous egg was posted by an account called @world_record_egg on January 4. It simply features a picture of the egg, which is the only post on the account.

Explaining the thinking behind the post, the caption reads: “Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram. Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner (18 million)! We got this. #LikeTheEgg #EggSoldiers #EggGang.”

Piers Morgan was ecstatic to see Jenner dethroned by an egg, telling Good Morning Britain viewers: “Thank God for that guy, or woman, he’s made a little stand for eggs and non-Kardashians. And for that, I salute you.”

Fans scrambled to find out the identity of the genius behind the mystery egg account. A “British chicken” named “Henrietta” ‘replied’ to Buzzfeed, claiming the egg is called “Eugene”.

The Instagram creator said the account was started over boredom sparked by Dry January. “I saw this as a challenge to beat it,” they wrote. “It was nothing personal.”
