It's a classic breakfast for families of all ages, and you would not think to mess with it.

But TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh caused an outrage on social media on Friday after she tweeted a photo of herself dipping raw carrots into her boiled egg.

The 26-year-old posted the snap as part of her work with British Lion eggs to break the Guinness World Record for the most soldiers dipped into boiled eggs at once.

Lucy Mecklenburgh’s collaboration with Ellesse is still going strong. In a recent Instagram snap, Lucy is wearing the ‘Allenarsi’ bra top, which is part of her Recycled collection.

Created from recycled materials, the feminine and functional silhouette is delivered in a lightweight, water-resistant fabric. The silver foil branding adds a pretty touch, which we love!

Unfortunately this black sports bra has sold out, but you can click (right) to buy it in grey. The lighter shade looks just as great and would be a welcome addition to any sportswear wardrobe.

Lucy tweeted the photo with the caption: 'I'm joining British Lion eggs, attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the most people dipping egg soldiers simultaneously!'

The reality TV star posed for the snap in a form-fitting black Ellesse sports bra, with her brunette bobbed hair tied up in a half up half down look.

Fans were horrified by Lucy's bizarre breakfast, as the boiled eggs are traditionally accompanied by soldiers made out of bread.
