However, while announcing the end of the breakfast items, McDonald's informed customers that they can grab a McMuffin for 99p.

"Despite speculation and following a trial separation period, Breakfast Bagels & Breakfast Wraps will not be returning to the menu. We adore each other deeply but our love for the iconic McMuffin was simply too hard to ignore.

"We want our fans to know this is a mutual decision, to the extent that a bagel can make its own decision.

"Thank you to everyone who has supported our union. As for the rumours that there will be a new breakfast bae on the scene later this year... no comment."

One user commented: "Was gutted when you got rid of the big breakfast off the menu now you have removed the bagels you now have the worse option available with the muffin it's not a patch on the bagels and wraps!"

Another said: "The bagels were the only reason I went there for breakfast."

"Not only are you never giving us bagels again, you're telling us on a damn Monday morning. Mcdonalds who?", one complained.
