She felt something in her mouth and was stunned to find the sparkler nestled in the egg.

The 39-year-old is amazed at the timing as she is marrying fiance Stephen Warwick in May – and has a hen-do this weekend.

Chicken farmers say it is possible that the bird ate the diamond and the gem passed into the egg.

At first Sally thought some had lost a diamond after buying the eggs from Asda

Sally, of Carlisle, said: “I’m trying to lose a bit of weight just before the wedding and I cooked a batch of eggs all at once to eat over a few days.

“I took one, peeled it and bit into it when I feel something like gristle in my mouth.

“It fell on to the plate and I couldn’t understand where it had come from – I thought it had come from me.

“There was this little bit of jewellery on the plate and I couldn’t understand where it had come from.

“The only place could have been from the egg.”
