OLYMPIC hero Sir Mo Farah will get special halal meals while in the I’m A Celebrity castle.

But he will be taking part in eating trials — which usually involve eating creepy-crawlies — as Muslim rules do not ban it.

Sir Mo, 37, will not have the same grub as delivered to other campmates, just like champ boxer Amir Khan back in 2017.

A source said: “Mo told producers a long time ago about his food preferences, so they were prepared.

“He can’t eat certain food unless it’s prepared in the correct way according to his religion.”

Mo told The Sun: “To be honest, I’m not a big eater.”
