The FA respond to claims that Wembley Stadium is being turned into a giant lasagne, yes, you read that one right. If you know, you know.
A voice message on WhatsApp went viral over the last two days, claiming the Ministry of Defence was about to request that the national stadium will cook the world’s biggest lasagne to help feed to country during this tough time.

The audio said: “My sister, her boyfriend’s brother works for the Ministry of Defence and one of the things that they’re doing to prepare… is building a massive lasagne. At the moment, as we speak, they’re building the massive lasagne sheets.
“They’re putting the underground heating at Wembley on, that’s going to bake the lasagne, and then they’re putting the roof across and that’s going to recreate the oven, and then what they’re going to do is lift it up with drones and cut off little portions to drop it off to people’s homes.”
29-year-old, Billy McLean, was the man behind the fake message, mimicking the misinformation that is being posted during the coronavirus pandemic, showing how easily the fake news can spread.
McLean shared it among a group of friends at lunchtime on Thursday and within a few hours it had been sent back to him having been shared globally.
He told The Guardian: “It was just one take. I sent it to the football group, my mum and the girl that I’m trying to date.
“It went around the football group. Then I got people that I know forwarding it to me, not knowing it was me, or forwarding it to me asking if I’d heard it. Ex-girlfriends were coming out of the woodwork asking was it me.”
Fans gave their reaction as the FA respond to claims that Wembley Stadium is being turned into a giant lasagne…

"basically the French authorities have heard about the big lasagne in Wembley Stadium, so what they're going to do to help and go with it is make a massive garlic bread in the Channel Tunnel"
