It's a
jungle out there Actress and singer
Toyah Willcox can't do without her daily
chocolate fix. "Normally I'm a really
careful eater, and particularly since I've been
performing in Calamity Jane , I've had to watch
what I eat. I can't eat right before I go onstage
and I try to avoid meat and dairy. I've also
discovered mangoes make my joints ache and so do
too many lemons. Robert and I [husband, Robert
Fripp] eat lots of salads and raw food and I take
cod liver oil, vitamin E and a supplement called
ReviFace for my skin every day. We grow our own
tomatoes at our home in the country and I do a
sun-dried version in the Aga.
My food
diary here reflects the week I spent almost
continually in my car driving to London for
meetings about I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here
. I ate a lot of chocolate, but I am a chocoholic
- two bars a day, preferably Cadbury's milk
chocolate. My ambition is to sing the Cadbury's
Flake jingle.
I'm was
very nervous at the prospect of having to eat
grubs on I'm a Celebrity , because I didn't think
I could do it without retching, and I hate the
idea of killing anything, but I like the rice and
beans."
