The not-so-humble spud even comes doused in fresh truffle shavings, grated Gruyére cheese and edible gold leaf.

The dish, crafted by chef Spudman, would usually set you back a whopping £50.

But despite its hefty price tag the baked potato can now be enjoyed for free - if you head down to Hull bingo hall.

The limited edition dish is available at Mecca Bingo on Clough Road between midday and 2pm on November 20.
