This Morning made an awkward blunder when a vegetarian pop star was seen delving into a meat dish made on the show.
Anastacia, who is responsible for some of the biggest tracks of the 2000s including I’m Outta Love and Left Outside Alone, joined Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary on the ITV show on Wednesday (February 7). The singer, 55, was on to chat about her new musical escapades and catch up with the show, having appeared several times previously.
However, before she chatted to the pair about her current career, she could not help herself by getting into the action in the item before her. Ahead of her interview, cooking legend Ainsley Harriott was whipping up a gorgeous dish in the kitchen for Alison and Dermot.

As she came over from the sofa, she indulged in the smells of the food Ainsley was making. However, she made a startling revelation as she tucked into the dish that she “does not eat meat” and is instead a vegetarian.

Fully aware of her breaking her own diet regime, she announced, whilst diving in to the meal: “I do not eat meat, people! This is the truth!”
As she was enjoying her meal, a stunned Alison asked: “Are you really a veggie?” Harriott, also rather bemused at Anastacia’s admission, quipped: “Have I inspired you to go back?”
It was clear the singer loved the dish so much, she carried on eating the meal. However, as she was doing so, she replied to Hammond, saying: “Yeah, I don’t eat meat!”

Dermot, shocked at Anastacia’s honestly apologised for the mishap, taking the plate away from the pop star. “That’s absolutely mortifying, I’m so sorry,” he muttered as he removed the plate.
But Anastacia was quick to defend herself, stating: “I wanted it!” Confused at what happened, many fans took to Twitter to let their feelings be known at the awkward run-in.
One user watching the show said of the moment: “Well, that was awkward!” Another viewer chimed in, adding: “Just watched ‘vegetarian’ Anastacia sit and eat pork chops on This Morning – wtf!”

A third account similarly was left stunned at the mix-up, tweeting that the singer could not see the double standard. “Anastacia: ‘I’m a vegetarian’, also Anastacia: *eats meat*,” they wrote.
This Morning airs every weekday at 10am on ITV1 and ITVX.
