Why can’t Dermot O’Leary eat Colin the Caterpillar cake?

[HangryBrickShark]

Just a random musing here, but just been watching This Morning and they were taste testing 'Colin The Caterpillar' cake against another caterpillar type cake to see which was the nicest.

Alison Hammond told Dermot O'Leary "come on tuck in..., oh you can't can you?"

But why can't Dermot eat Colin The Caterpillar cake?

Can’t eat gluten?

Could he eat the other one?

Vegetarian?

peanuts? M&S Colin has a peanut warning

Odd question! Probably food intolerance or allergy. Have you heard of those OP?

Loves caterpillars so feels guilty eating a cake-shaped one?

Has he given up chocolate for Lent? 🤔

He's catholic and has probably given up sweet stuff for Lent.

Won't eat food with a face.

Oh and I missed it so which caterpillar cake won?

Yep, ethical objection to eating caterpillars, I reckon.

Couldn't possibly be anything so dull as a gluten intolerance/nut allergy etc

He doesn’t have a nut allergy because he’s said before that his wife has a serious allergy so he only eats nuts out of the house. I only remember that because I’m the same with DH’s nut allergy.

I imagine it’s lent.

Is a line I wish I wrote 😂

Just heard them mention Lent in relation to Dermot, so I think I was right.

A quick google says his wife has a severe nut allegy. Maybe that's why?

Oh, probably a lent thing then.

Or another dull one - vegan.
But probably Lent.

Off chocolate for lent?

He dosen't need the calories.

So who won? (much more interesting)

He said earlier in the week that he's given up chocolate, sweets and cake for lent.

Had a pet caterpillar as a child called Colin and is now triggered and traumatised?

Lent?

It's Lent. He gave up sugary stuff

He was testing hot cross buns yesterday but mentioned he couldn’t eat one with nuts.
