"It's been great, but we've got our eye on something else."

The chicken favourite did tease that a new scheme for food lovers will be "a lot more fun and fast".

One Twitter user said: "@KFC are you really ending loyalty stamps for customers? I've got so many stamps to use!"

A spokesman told The Sun: "It's true, all good things must come to an end and our loyalty stamps will be ending this month.

"But don't fear, it's not goodbye to our loyal flock. Just like our famous recipe, what comes next is a closely guarded secret.

"Watch this space – it won't disappoint."

KFC is yet to announce what will replace the stamps, but they will come to an end on July 26.

The chain reassured fans that any unused stamps can still be used as part of a "stamp boost scheme".

Customers with three stamps or more will have 6 months to redeem their reward.

Anyone with one or two stamps will have their rewards boosted to three so they can quality for a free treat.

There's three months to claim this.

Those lucky fans with between three and six stamps will be able to redeem a free snack.
