A man is scrambling to find a spherical egg that can be placed inside his bespoke spherical egg cup.
Simon Balch, 49, was inspired to make what he believed to be the first spherical egg cup after reading the story of Jo Willis and her “one in a billion” discovery in may.
Mrs Willis donated her egg to the cup maker, so they could auction them off together for Cancer Research UK, but it began to soil after she accidentally hard boiled it.
Mr Balch, who grew up in Hemingstone in Suffolk but now lives in Camden, north London, wants to continue with his mission and display the egg and cup at an egg festival in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
