I'M A Celebrity bosses are reportedly facing a Bushtucker trial crisis after signing up three vegans.
Fleur East, James McVey and Sair Khan have all sworn off eating any animal products.
It means ITV bosses could have trouble persuading some of those contestants to take part in the Bushtucker Trials.
Participants are asked to chow down some seriously gruesome jungle grub, from kangaroo and bull testicles to witchety grubs and ants.
An insider has now revealed producers could meet some resistance from the vegan contestants this year as they are opposed to consuming any product derived from animals.
They told the : "It could prove a bit tricky for bosses if they refuse to do the eating Bushtucker Trials.
"Fleur has already told bosses that she is strictly vegan and does not go near any animal products. It’s certainly not ideal.
As well as Fleur, James and Sair, Nick Knowles is also a semi-vegetarian.
Last year's grisly tasks included the particularly stomach-churning challenge in which Stanley Johnson had to pass bull testicles with his teeth.
Previous tasks have included Ferne McCann having to eat bull penis and Jimmy Bullard scoffing a bowl full of animal testicles.
The stars are all going into the jungle next weekend as the show returns on ITV on Sunday night.
It will be hosted by Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby, who's stepped into replace Ant McPartlin while he battles personal problems.
The line-up also includes John Barrowman, Harry Redknapp and Noel Edmonds.
