Laura Arber had purchased a Happy Meal for her six-year-old daughter Maddie, who nearly choked on the contaminated nugget.

She told BBC News: ''I couldn't work out what it was but I looked at the box of nuggets and could see something blue sticking out of another one.

''It was a mask, it was absolutely baked into it, it had gone like chewing gum. It was disgusting.''

Arber claims that she and her daughter have been put off McDonald's ''for life'' as a result.

The fast-food giant has apologised to the pair after the incident.

A spokesperson said: ''We would like to offer a full apology to the customer in question and understand they are currently in conversation with our customer services team.''
