Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci, is elated and cannot hide her emotions after receiving the long-awaited confirmation from the Guinness World Records.

Today, the Guinness World Records announced that Hilda has officially broken the record for the longest cooking marathon (individual), with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes.

They also noted that Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.

Guinness World Records congratulated Hila for the feat attained.

In response in less than an hour after the news broke, an emotional Hilda took to Twitter to share her joy.

Awe-shocked, she wrote: "This is the best news ever omg omg omg thank you so much."

Hilda began cooking on Thursday 11 May and continued through to Monday 15 May, cooking over 100 pots of food during her four-day kitchen stint.

This is the best news ever omg omg omg thank you so much 🥺🥺
