Kylie Jenner loses Instagram record to an egg

Some egg-citing news this morning...

Kylie Jenner on Sunday lost the world record of having the most 'liked' photo on Instagram. The stunning image that managed to break through the Kardashian-Jenner social media stronghold, you ask? It's a picture of an egg.

The photo, posted online by the 'egg gang' to the account world_record_egg on January 4, has received 21 million 'likes' as of this morning - beating the previous record of 18 million that was held by Kylie Jenner's picture of her daughter Stormi.

"Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram. Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner (18 million)! We got this," the post read.

Take a look at the famous egg below:

"This has to be the best thing to happen in modern history," wrote one commenter. "YOU DID IT EGG!!" cheered another.

Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner, in a sporting response to losing the top-spot, shared a video this morning which shows her cracking an egg on a road. "Take that little egg," she captioned the hilarious video.
