Last week the show was in ‘crisis’ after three vegans entered the jungle – musicians Fleur East, and James McVey with Corrie star Sair Khan.

Typically the show’s ‘Bushtucker Trials’ require contestants to eats disgusting animal parts such as bull testicles or kangaroo penis.

Organisers were reportedly willing to allow the vegan celebs off the hook, saying they would be ineligible from certain trials.

But during scenes from the first show’s first weekend in the Australian Jungle, Khan’s team won the first challenge.

The vegan was heard recommending former football manager Harry Redknapp should try some emu meat, before eating some herself.

Viewers took to Twitter to voice their shock at the alleged vegans actions.
