McDonald's said: “We’re sorry to be breaking some hearts just before Valentine’s Day, we’ve loved the reactions from our customers to the limited edition Katsu Curry Chicken McNuggets.
“Whilst the six week McNugget fling might be over, from 10 February, our customers can look forward to the returning favourite Grand Big Mac, making the on-again, off-again relationship firmly back ON.”
