Loose Women's Janet Street Porter reveals she eats ROADKILL
The journalist was more than happy to reveal she eats roadkill after guest Gino D'Acampo was pictured with a rabbit.
Promoting his latest cookbook, the This Morning chef had everyone cooing over his childhood snap with what they thought was just a cute, fluffy pet.
"That was the introduction of a rabbit to me," the 40-year-old stated, before the mood quickly changed. "I ate my first rabbit…"
As gasps rose from the audience, Gino continued: "What? Yeah, [we ate] that rabbit. In Italy we do eat rabbits. Easter time we use to cook them, delicious!"
