Joel Dommett issued health warning live on This Morning after exposing dietary habit
Joel Dommett has been presenting This Morning with Emma Willis this week and was issued a health warning by Dr Rupy during today's programme, after revealing his love of eggs Joel Dommett received a live on-air warning during Wednesday's episode of This Morning after confessing to a peculiar health habit. The former I'm A Celebrity champion, 40, is filling in for Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley this week, co-hosting with Emma Willis. During today's ITV daytime show, in a segment about poaching eggs, Joel disclosed that he consumes six eggs daily. Emma recalled their meeting the previous day when the topic was discussed: "When this was mentioned in the meeting yesterday, Joel became almost possessed by egg-chat." "I love eggs," Joel confessed, adding: "I eat six a day pretty much, because I just love them," reports the Mirror. "I scramble them, poach them, I've not got through to putting it straight in my throat yet but I'm not far away." Upon hearing about his egg-eating habits, TV chef Dr Rupy advised him to "diversify" his protein consumption. As he demonstrated how to poach an egg, he continued: "I know you eat six eggs a day, there are certain people that are hyper-absorbers of cholesterol, so about one in five people might need to worry about their dietary cholesterol, but the good news is the majority of us actually don't. "There was this idea that dietary cholesterol would push up your blood cholesterol, but for most people that isn't the case." He then cautioned Joel: "That doesn't mean you can eat six eggs a day, I would still say you want to diversify it." "They are delicious," Joel responded, confirming that he eats six at once every day. "Honestly every day, I go to do something else and just go, 'I love it'." Dr Rupy added: "The best way to tell whether you're eating too much, just have your cholesterol checked." "I do need to check that," Joel responded. According to the British Health Foundation, there's no recommended limit on how many eggs individuals should consume as long as they maintain a balanced diet. However, for those with familial hypercholesterolaemia (affecting 1 in 500 people in the UK), it's advised not to exceed three or four eggs per week. Elsewhere on This Morning, Joel made another "weird" health confession, in a segment about children's broken bones. The presenter recalled a childhood accident that led to a minor fracture on a joint in his hands that could have meant a ligament was pulled off his bone, with Emma asking him: "I wonder if that's what happened to you." Joel replied: "To my thumbs, yeah, I landed on my bike and it pulled my thumb right back and popped that off. "My wrists are still a bit weird... there's lots weird about me."
