If she finished the meal in under two hours, she would get her picture on the wall of fame, bragging rights and the meal for free. If she failed, she would have to pay an eye-watering £55 fine.
On her YouTube channel, Leah said: “I'm at The Smoke Pit in Northampton taking on the undefeated Phat Platter.
"In front of me here I have this glorious looking platter full of all of your favourite barbecue goods. We have ribs there's corn wings, lots of fries, a burger, coleslaw, entire cup of cheese, which as we all know I love and I believe there's some sort of a mac and cheese dish in the middle here. I have two hours to take this down. If I managed to do that I will get the meal for free and I'll go on the wall. However, if I fail, I pay the fine.”

She said: “I think the gaffer was in disbelief. I think he thought his platter could defeat me. However, I refuse to be defeated.
"I'm sat here victorious…but that was not an easy thing. That was probably one of the most difficult challenges I've had to date just for the sheer volume of food. It was all delicious. I really enjoyed the flavours but just the sheer quantity, it's a lot.”
Speaking on Facebook, The Smoke Pit said: “The one and only Leah Shutkever came to see us and smashed it! What a takedown it was. She came, she killed it, she left.”
