Shane Warne would bring CANNED baked beans to cafes for family breakfasts

Jackson Warne hit headlines this week, after the nation discovered he’d only tried ’10 foods’ his entire life on SAS Australia.

But it appears the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as on Wednesday the 21-year-old revealed his cricketing legend dad Shane Warne, 51, has some bizarre eating habits of his own.

Speaking on Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa, Jackson revealed his dad use to ‘love’ baked beans so much, he would take cans of them into cafes and request them to be cooked during family breakfasts.

‘I’ve never had baked beans,’ he laughed. ‘But funny story with baked beans!

‘When we used to go out as family for breakfast – my sisters, my mum, everyone – we would order eggs, bacon, omelette or whatever… but dad would bring in his tinned spaghetti or baked beans and ask them to put it on pieces of toast.

‘That’s how much he loved his baked beans!’

There’s always been bizarre rumours regarding Shane’s passion for the tinned baked bean.  

In 1998, it was reported that Cricket Australia had a Qantas flight deliver 1,900 tins of baked beans and spaghetti to the Australian team while they were on tour in India. 

In a bizarre twist, it was reported that Shane had personally demanded the supplies for himself.

But during his appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2016, Shane dismissed the rumours once and for all.

He said: ‘Everyone thought I was desperate for baked beans, and it just sort of stuck for the last 20 years.

‘We got a few cans each and gave the rest away to all the Indians.’
