Last updated 3rd Oct 2017
Yesterday fast food fans couldn't contain their excitement as KFC announced it will be bringing its 'most famous' sandwich to the UK, for a limited time only.
Making the announcement on Twitter the fast food chain released a short silent video showing the red logo rotating on a black background, captioned with the release date of the 9th October.
For those who haven't heard of this fantastic product, the Double Down is already massively popular in US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and now it seems that KFC bosses are ready to let us try it in the UK.
KFC describe the Double Down 'no to bread buns and yes to doubling Original Recipe chicken'. So, not only does it feature two succulent Original Recipe chicken fillets, but sandwiched between the chicken fillets is crispy bacon, melted Monterey Jack cheese and barbecue sauce, all inside in a black, easy to handle, cardboard wrapper. What more could KFC fans want?
As soon as the announcement was made fans were quick to respond on social media with much excitement including countless gifs.
KFC even responded to fans asking if it was really true with the gif below.
The Double Down launched in the US in 2010 and it looks sure to be a success in the UK, however at the moment it is only available for a limited time. Starting next Monday 9th October, it will be available for just six weeks so for a taste of this goodness you'll need to get yourself down to your local KFC soon.
The Double Down will be priced from £4.79, or from £5.79 with fries and a drink.
