British celebrity Timmy Mallet found himself booted off of the UK reality show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here! after the producers organized a challenge where they had to eat kangaroo penis and testicles blended into a variety of drinks and he refused.
“It was an eating trial. I wasn’t expecting that. I’m a vegetarian. How could I cope? Am I comfortable having to consume living creatures? The answer is no, of course I’m not comfortable. But I am a fighter and I believe you’ve got to be in it to win it.” said the 53-year-old TV presenter.
Mallett’s refusal to consume the mixes presented in the survival battle meant an elimination and he was sent packing.

So disgusting. I knew a guy that was on Fear Factor many years back. They had to eat various bull parts, including the whole snout. Despite how appalled I was, I must say he took it like a champ.
But he did eat it. I watched the programme. And he wasn’t booted out – he lost the challenge because he did drink it but just not as fast as the other person.
I dont know too many hard core omnivores that would eat that!
