Celebrity guinea pigs undergo an extreme junk food eating regime in a groundbreaking experiment.
Singer Peter Andre, The Chase mastermind and barrister Shaun Wallace, politician Nadine Dorries, actress Hayley Tamaddon, Olympian Tessa Sanderson and TV personality Hugo Taylor have bravely given their bodies over to science to take part in an overfeeding study used by scientists to understand exactly how food can affect our bodies.
Britain is a nation hooked on fast food. We consume 22 million takeaway meals every week and fast food joints are dominating high streets across Britain. n this program, six famous faces have agreed to put their bodies on the line and become guinea pigs in an extreme scientific experiment to find out what our junk food lifestyle is actually doing to us.
For 21 days the celebs will be overeating burgers, fried chicken and pizza – Britain’s top three favourite junk foods – for lunch and dinner. The volunteers will each spend a week eating burgers, a week eating chicken and a week eating pizza and by subjecting them to a large increase in calories – 50% more than they need - over a short period of time, the effect on their bodies could mimic that of long term consumption.

    I wanna see an experiment like that but with healthy food
  • @aday4evr
    You can really tell how well raised the one woman's kids are when they're cheering her on to eat pizza. If my parents did an experiment like this my younger siblings would be jealous and upset that they couldn't have pizza for breakfast too.

    Peter Andre is so enjoyable to watch, so optimistic and friendly, you can just see he is a nice person.
  • @SodaAvenue
    i wish they show the part where participants continue with an equal amount of days of a healthy diet and show the individual person medical results after...
  • @richards3470
    So, basically, they've adopted a college students diet.

    “The clue was in the name, though, it was not hu-stay but hu-go.” Hahahaha, I’m dead 😂😂😂😂

    The olympian doesnt look like 62. She looks way younger for her age.
  • @a697ag
    I can remember when these kinds of food weren't vilified because we only ate them as only very occasional treats. We ate them, enjoyed them and felt no guilt
  • @kimmycasts2811
    The 62 y/o woman looks like she's still in her late 30s. Amazing!!

    “It’s a selfless act” I might start telling myself that anytime I want a takeout.

    Hugo saying it's easier than ever to eat healthily in the UK and then names expensive fruits "avocado" and "dragon fruit" - this is exactly why so many people think eating healthily is too expensive, you don't need fancy exotic foods - you can buy typical fruit, veg and wholegrains for very cheap, especially if you shop in lidl, aldi or Iceland. Most supermarkets do a wonky veg box, which are great value and a great way to try things you wouldn't usually buy. You can buy frozen veg and fruit for lazy days. I eat a very healthy diet and spend no more than £15 a week on a food shop (I'm a single person, so you could spend even less than that per person in a family or couple)
  • "You can be fit but you just can't outrun a bad diet" I'll always remember and repeat these words when I'm too tempted to eat bad stuff.
  • @Cheddar_Girl
    Peter Andre has such a great attitude. Loving his positively sweet personality!
  • @mbstephens8034
    Imagine how many people, especially we Americans, are living with the results of such a diet. This is awful.
  • For all of the people complaining that they dont know who any of these people are, they are all from British television so if you're American or from another country its unlikely you'd know them lol. I thought more people would know who Peter Andre is though.
  • @Annoymous1818
    Am I the only one who was glad to see them eat a wholesome meal at the end of the episode 😅
