Elijah Wood has hosted an eating contest in New York.

The Lord of the Rings star, who played Frodo Baggins in the film series, reportedly stayed at the event until 3am to celebrate with the champion of the Lord of the Wings competition.

Winner 'Big Dan' Graff told the New York Post: "It was a fun night. I ate 14 wings in three minutes.

"Elijah was a good sport and a really sweet little guy. I'll probably regret saying this, but he's got the biggest blue eyes I've ever seen on a man."
