Comedian Jack Whitehall is reportedly the 'first person' to have his Nando's Black Card revoked as he admits he 'abused' the unlimited free Peri-Peri chicken offer when studying in Manchester.

Speaking to Matt White on the Manchester's Finest Youtube channel, the Travels With My Father star, 34, confessed he would visit the Fallowfield Nando's 'every day for six months' while at university.

In the video with Manchester's Finest, the star said: "I was given the Nando's Black Card while I was still living in the student house. You could get four complimentary meals on it, so I'd take all my mates daily.

"I went and I got four whole chickens and brought like, 15 of my mates, and they all gorged on all of this free Nandos."

Laughing, he added: "Then I became the first person that they took the Nando's black card back off because I'd abused it. It wasn't within the spirit of the offer."

The Nando's High Five Card offers unlimited amounts of free meals to its owner for one year. This includes a starter, main, dessert and a soft drink for the person named on the card and up to four friends.

But they aren't easy to get your hands on. According to FoodTribe, people need to be in a 'position of influence' and open about sharing their love for Nando's publicly. Ed Sheeran is among the select list of people to own one.
