I'm a picky eater & eat barely any of the ‘awful' food at all-inclusive hotels – trolls slam me as ‘disrespectful'
Simone Wilko, a self-confessed picky eater, recently went on holiday to Cyprus, and was not impressed by the food that was on offer.

Taking to TikTok, the influencer showed off the diverse array of food in the restaurant at her hotel, stating that there was "so much to choose from, but at the same time there wasn't."
Showing viewers a plate of delicious looking stuffed courgettes with vegetables, she said: "I understand I'm in a different country, but what on earth are these foods?
"They look absolutely awful."
Showing the camera a dish of traditional black eye beans with Swiss chards, she then said: "I couldn't think of anything worse."
Simone then spotted a pizza and got excited as she thought it was margherita, but after reading that the label said Quatro Formaggi (four cheese) she decided to give it a miss.
The holidaymaker then decided to put some plain bread on her plate, along with a portion of chips.
"If these had herbs on, I wouldn't have got them", she admitted.
"I just don't like the taste of seasoning."
She then placed some ribs on her plate, and a small bit of pork from a stir fry, making sure to avoid the veg as she "hates spring onions".
However, she said that the pork was "horrible" anyway, as it had seasoning on it.
10 Expert Tips for Managing Picky Eaters
Simone then moved on to dessert, but unfortunately said that she also found her chocolate mousse "disgusting".
Her video, posted under the username (@s33immm) has quickly gone viral, racking up 772,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts, with many unimpressed by Simone's attitude to the cuisine.
One person said: "Picky is fine, but insulting other countries' foods is not OK."
A second person said: "Fellow lowkey picky eater here but there's a difference between you and me.
"I don't go around being disrespectful about food."

Brooklyn Beckham 'flexes' his in-laws wealth on £85M superyacht that dwarfs his parent's £16M vessel as they narrowly avoid each other in St Tropez amid family rift
Brooklyn Beckham has been flexing the Peltz's wealth during a St Tropez getaway with his in-laws - dwarfing his family's current getaway in the same location. The amateur chef, 26, who is embroiled in a rift with his family, spent the week on a £85million superyacht called Project X, which is chartered for £1.2million per week. The 260ft luxury vessel was rented by Nicola's billionaire parents, who holidayed with the couple and the rest of the Peltz clan. Just two days after the family jetted back to the U.S. after their European getaway, Brooklyn's parents arrived in the same dock on their £16million yacht, Seven. David, 50 and Victoria, 51, bought their 130ft boat in 2022, after previously buying a smaller vessel by the same name the year before. Speaking about the financial rivalry, a source told The Sun: 'Brooklyn's yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It's a financial flex. 'Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet. Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he's clearly enjoying the spoils.' Project X boasts a master suite, a VIP cabin, five double rooms as well as two twin cabins, while being able to hold a crew of 28 to run the boat. Special features include a huge glass-sided swimming pool, a wellness suite, a spa and a jaw-dropping 360-degree sundeck. Meanwhile, the Beckham's smaller yacht has five cabins in comparison, sleeping ten people and seven crew members. Their boat features a spa bath on the upper deck, as well as 65ft garage, plenty of water toys and a jet ski to keep the family entertained. Seven is named after David's iconic football shirt number as well as their daughter Harper's middle name. They previously owned a £5million boat but upgraded it less than a year later. David and Victoria are away with their other three children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14. They narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with estranged son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola in the celebrity hotspot. They arrived in the south of France for their annual summer break, where their eldest son had been spotted holidaying on his billionaire father-in-law's boat nearby. David and Victoria were joined on the lavish getaway by the rest of their children; Harper and Romeo while youngest son Cruz soaked up the sun elsewhere in St Tropez with girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30. Romeo and Harper were first of the family to be spotted in St Tropez on Thursday, just 48-hours after Brooklyn met with godfather Elton John, who was also holidaying in the South Of France, for lunch where the singer 'attempted to end ongoing family feud'. The once close-knit Beckham family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months, amid claims Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents after failing to attend any of his father 50th birthday celebrations in May. It was also revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers in the latest family drama. Sir Elton, who has been friends with the Beckhams for three decades, reportedly took the opportunity to 'say his piece' about the feud as he wined and dined the young couple. According to The Sun, Sir Elton 'briefly' spoke about the family's feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents, and footage of the outing shared on social media showed the pair shaking hands. Speaking about Elton's attempts to play peacekeeper in the row, a source said: 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He's utterly neutral in this row. 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy. 'There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short - to patch things up.' The source added Elton is 'adamant he doesn't want to stick his nose in' the feud, he just simply 'wants peace'. Sir Elton is also said to have generously picked up the entire bill, after dining on the restaurant's signature lobster linguine which comes in at an eye-watering £190. Brooklyn enjoyed a workout on the multi-million pound super Superyacht Nicola shared a slew of final holiday snaps from the couple's lavish trip before heading home to the US. In a snap shared to her Instagram Stories Nicola threw her arms around Brooklyn's neck as they smooched while watching a sunset. She later stunned in a black mini dress as she strutted her stuff on the dance floor before enjoying a lavish fireworks display. The heiress later showcased her jaw-dropping figure as she headed ashore and turned heads in a Chanel crop top which she teamed with a fluffy shrug, despite the scorching weather. Meanwhile another source has claimed that Nicola and Brooklyn will not feature in his mother forthcoming documentary series. The former Spice Girl will take centre stage in a new Netflix docuseries about her day-to-day life as creative director of the eponymous fashion and beauty brand she originally launched in 2008. The source told The Sun: 'The children hardly feature — it's simply not a case of Brooklyn and Nicola being cut, as they weren't in it to start with. 'This is very much a project focussing on Victoria's transaction from pop star to businesswoman and designer.' MailOnline has contacted the Beckhams and Elton's representatives for comment.

Pregnant Atomic Kitten star Liz McClarnon, 44, reveals gruelling IVF toll from feeling ‘broken' to weight gain
PREGNANT Atomic Kitten songstress Liz McClarnon has revealed her gruelling IVF toll from feeling "broken" to her weight gain. The Eternal Flame vocalist, 44, revealed the happy news of her pregnancy in May after spending two decades trying to conceive. 10 10 10 A full cycle of IVF (in vitro fertilisation) takes around 3 to 6 weeks to complete. It usually follows 6 steps, depending on the type of treatment you're having. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Liz uploaded a series of snaps from the past few years which revealed her treatments with husband Peter Cho as well as the side effects of the medication. Liz captioned the video: "After 8 IVF cycles within 3 years, as you can imagine, I've been on hormones more often than not. "I just wanted to share how it can look. Sometimes normal and sometimes very not." Liz's video began with herself looking drained as she mused: "Sometimes you could tell." Then she cut to an energetic shot of herself captioned: "sometimes you couldn't." She then shared a video of Peter helping her with her injections on their first attempt at IVF, explaining that "life carried on as normal." As the cycle continued and she needed more injections, she confessed: "I started to gain weight... of course that didn't matter." Yet she admitted she ended up feeling "a little bit broken" as the cycle continued reports The Daily Mail. The video then showed Liz receiving her final injection and making one last trip to the fertility clinic where she was filmed with "the look of hope." Pregnant Atomic Kitten star Liz McLarnon shows off huge bump and reveals she's struggling to walk with 'hulk of babies' Liz said of their three failed embryo transfer attempts in 2022: 'The first time we did it, I thought, 'This will be it. "But by my third cycle, it was obviously very different. "When that one didn't work, I was really quite sick and I was in a dark hole." She said to MirrorOnline: "I'd put on so much weight but I didn't want to tell anyone why, because I didn't want the IVF to become my identity, my whole personality. What happens during IVF (in vitro fertilisation) A full cycle of IVF (in vitro fertilisation) takes around 3 to 6 weeks to complete. It usually follows 6 steps, depending on the type of treatment you're having. Your doctor should discuss the options with you and explain each of these steps before any treatment starts. You use an injection or nasal spray every day for 2 to 3 weeks to stop your ovaries producing eggs naturally. You'll have an ultrasound scan to check if the medicine has worked. Once your ovaries are no longer producing eggs, you'll inject yourself every day for 2 weeks with medicine that increases your egg supply. You'll have tests or scans to check how well it's working. A doctor at the clinic collects your eggs using a needle inserted through your vagina. This takes around 20 minutes and you'll be offered medicine that makes you sleepy (a sedative). Your partner is asked to give a sperm sample in a private room, usually while your eggs are being collected. If you're using donor sperm, it will be ready in the laboratory. The eggs are fertilised with the sperm in a laboratory. The clinic will call you the next day to let you know how many embryos have been made and how many they might be able to use. After a few days, an embryo is put in your womb using a thin tube inserted through your vagina. If you have more than 1 embryo, your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of putting in more than 1 embryo. If any suitable embryos are left over, they may be frozen for future IVF attempts. The clinic will discuss this with you and let you know about any additional costs, such as embryo storage. "I was still doing shows and I'd see the comments online talking about me. 'I remember one said, 'She's getting really thick,' and others were like, 'She's unrecognisable.' "I tried to remember that those people didn't know what was happening, but it was hard. "I just felt broken after the third time, so we took a break before the wedding." Liz and her husband Peter got married two years ago in the Lake District. Yet towards the end of last year they suffered two tragic miscarriages. Happily, the couple are now on the road to being parents, with Liz taking precautions due to her age classifying it as a "high risk" pregnancy. BABY REVEAL Liz looked glowing in the clip posted to social media in May announcing her pregnancy to the world. The captions over the video read: "I've been keeping a secret from you, and I've mostly kept myself off social media because sometimes it was hard to smile. "But after years of sometimes quite painful IVF and dark times, I'm pregnant! "We feel like we've been given the world." Liz also wrote a heartwarming message next to the video, which read: "I started to record a video of me just telling you but I got too emotional so I thought I'd just hide behind this little announcement instead. "I just can't believe we're here. "So many have been through exactly what I went through and worse. "I want to share what I can and add my voice and ears to those who already help others understand or deal with all that comes with IVF and loss after so much hope. "I've been a part of some beautifully supportive communities. I'm so grateful. I am so grateful!" 10 10 10 10 10 10
