But vegetarian participants do not need to take part in any tasks that require them to eat animal products if they don't want to.<\/p>\n
Vegans and vegetarians have taken part in the show since series one.<\/p>\n
In 2017, stand-up comedian Shappi Khorsandi revealed that she was vegan shortly before joining the Jungle.<\/p>\n
However, she ditched her plant-based diet for the show. <\/p>\n
Eventually, she did confess to falling ill, where she requested vegan-only food for the remainder of the show.<\/p>\n
At the time, Shappi said: \u201cI had meat, and I was really, really physically sick, five times in one hour. It was horrible.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the 2018 series\u00a0X Factor\u2019s\u00a0Fleur East\u00a0and Coronation Street\u2019s\u00a0Sair Khan\u00a0were both vegans, as well as James McVey.<\/p>\n
In 2020 Beverley Callard and Mo Farah opted for a vegan diet.<\/p>\n
For the 2022 Boy George required a vegan option for his meals.<\/p>\n
However, viewers were left stunned when Fleur tucked into meat in the camp – less than 48 hours after being on I'm A Celebrity.<\/p>\n
The former X Factor singer was seen tucking into wallaby.<\/p>\n
However, a show source told MailOnline that Fleur had made a conscious decision to shun her vegan diet before even jetting off to Australia.<\/p>\n
The insider said: "Fleur told producers that she didn't intend to be vegan in the jungle and would eat everything. <\/p>\n
"This was her choice and no one made her say it."<\/p>\n
A message on Fleur's Twitter was then posted which read: "Fleur is not a vegan. <\/p>\n
"For health reasons she has in the past followed a vegan diet, but she is not adhering to this in the jungle. <\/p>\n
"She has always eaten meat throughout her life."<\/p>\n
