ITV I'm A Celebrity Star Lisa Riley Will Miss Out on Gruesome Eating Trial
Lisa Riley is exempt from eating Bushtucker Trials due to her vegetarian diet; previous vegetarian contestants received similar exemptions, with vegan options offered to all campmates.
- This Sunday, November 16, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! kicks off its 25th season, with Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley exempt from one of the toughest Bushtucker Trials.
- Lisa Riley, best known for playing Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale, is a vegetarian, and the programme provides vegetarian and vegan meal options for campmates.
- Producers stage Bushtucker Trials that include extreme eating challenges, forcing stars to consume grotesque items like vomit fruit and animal genitals; ITV limited consecutive trials after Dean McCullogh faced seven in a row this year.
- Fans have long complained about repeat trial voting, prompting reforms as the rule change limits consecutive Bushtucker Trials; wildlife advocate Chris Packham called it `a first step` urging further reform.
- Amid format tweaks, producers point to earlier changes in 2019 modification to trials following backlash over live insects, while Olly Nash, executive producer of I'm A Celebrity, said this season will be tough and gruelling.
