Donald Gorske reached the record-breaking landmark after enjoying his first burger on 17 May 1972.

Gorske, from the US state of Wisconsin, says there have only been eight days in the past half-a-century where he hasn't tucked into the McDonald's burger.

He set a Guinness World Record in 1999 for the most Big Macs eaten in a lifetime with 15,490 before breaking it last year with a new benchmark of 32,340.

Gorske told Spectrum News Milwaukee: "I've only missed eight days in the past 50 years, which is phenomenal. And like I say, I count every Big Mac. I've counted every Big Mac I've eaten in my whole life."

Gorske often eats two Big Macs a day and says he never tires of the fast-food snack.

He explained: "A lot of times people say: 'You look like you're eating a Big Mac for the first time', and I guess that's how I feel sometimes. They're that good to me, and there's really nothing else I'd rather eat."
