The Little Britain star revealed his food/age match yesterday in The Sun
MATT LUCAS joked in The Sun yesterday that his bad diet gives him the eating age of a nine-year old.
In his autobiography the Little Britain star, 43, says: “I go through phases when I’m evangelical about quinoa . . . then I see a new Galaxy bar and it all goes to pot.”

YOUR RESULT
Mostly As: EATING AGE 1-9 – You’re just a big kid at heart and the thought of mixing chicken with veg makes you feel uneasy. You crave foods with a soft texture and bland flavours.
Mostly Bs: EATING AGE Teens – Happy to try new things as long as they are sweet. You’ve moved on to crusty white bread but still leave your greens and turn down runny scrambled egg.
Mostly Cs: EATING AGE 20s – You’re developing a taste for sharper flavours. Fried foods are a growing part of your diet for convenience and because it’s what the taste buds crave.
Mostly Ds: EATING AGE 30s – Crisps and chips are your guilty pleasures. You try to balance this with veg such as spinach. The occasional choc bar shows you have still got a sweet tooth.
Mostly Es: EATING AGE 40s – You’re more aware of your health and don’t crave a bag of sweets but go for savoury snacks.
Mostly Fs: EATING AGE 50-plus – No food is scary and you know which flavours go together. You would not dream of eating a meal without some veg in it.
