I’m A Celebrity viewers are very confused by the "vegan" contestants eating meat
This year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Is off to a great start. We’ve had a skydive, an intense Bushtucker Trial and plenty of Holly Willoughby screaming… and it’s only been 24 hours.
But that's all standard in the jungle. What’s really got viewers talking so far this series is the three contestants who were believed to be vegan eating meat.
It is thought that Sair Khan, Fleur East and James McVey are all vegan, and could even be exempt from taking part in Bushtucker Trials where they may have to eat animals, which is totally understandable... but it kind of looks like they already have been chowing down?
Let's explain. On last night's episode, Emily Atack put in a valiant effort during the Viper Pit Bushtucker Trial, and won her yellow camp some meals.

The campmates were obviously starving, having been left with rice and beans the night before, and were overjoyed to be getting proper food. But while fans might have expected that vegans would be catered for, instead they were offered wallaby wings.
However, rather than go back to their rations, both Fleur and James were seen eating the food.
The whole thing was made even more bizarre by Sair talking about eating Emu the night before, and people on Twitter were totally confused.

Some viewers even pointed out that the scones and cream Anne and Fleur requested from Kiosk Kev wouldn't be vegan-friendly, either.
James: I really like scones The public: wait.. I thought you were vegan ?? #imaceleb

How can they have clotted cream scones if they are vegan? #ImACeleb

However, some fans think that we've all got it twisted, and that the campmates are not, in fact, strict vegans.
So, that article a few days ago claiming there's 3 vegans in camp, so no animal eating tasks but now they've been seen eating meat...
I did some sleuthing and found this;
Fleur is vegan; but for fitness, not animals/environment.
James is a vegetarian.
Sair is neither! #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/7pWPFxGoeF- Felicity Sarah 🐰 (@bunnyandthegirl) November 19, 2018
What is going on here?!
