Boxer Amir Khan is receiving special halal rations during his stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! to keep his diet in line with his Muslim faith.
The revelation that cooks provide the specially-prepared food was made on Sunday, after a fan enquired how he avoided eating foods that were haram, or forbidden - but he's allowed to consume jungle creepy crawlies in Bushtucker Trials.
Taking to Twitter, the fan mused: 'Forever wondering what @amirkingkhan does when there's all that haram meat around?'
While another wrote: ‘It is obvious @amirkingkhan is eating haram food as the food served to him is the same as the other contestants’
Khan’s team revealed that cooks provide him with specially-prepared food after dozens of fans questioned how he was avoiding eating haram or forbidden food on the show.
However, according to some scholars Khan does have the option to eat jungle creepy crawlies in Bushtucker Trials.
One Muslim scholar wrote online: ‘There is no evidence in the Quran or Hadith at all where most insects (except scorpions) are called unclean. Therefore, insects are halal and you can eat them if you want without committing a sin.
