BACK AT THE beginning of February, Leo Varadkar vowed to have an “uber healthy” 40 days during lent, when he shared a photo of the frighteningly transparent pancake he treated himself to before Ash Wednesday.

After six weeks, it seems that the Taoiseach may have given up and had a cheat day, because he was seen hanging around outside a chipper with Fine Gael TD Noel Rock during the week.

We can’t say for sure whether Leo indulged in a bag of chips or not, but Noel Rock’s caption raises some suspicion.

Did you fare better than Leo Varadkar this year?
