Anastacia is known for her dedication to a vegetarian lifestyle, but she recently surprised viewers when she enthusiastically indulged in Ainsley Harriott's pork dish on This Morning. Understandably, people were confused by this unexpected turn of events.
The award-winning singer, who is 55 years old, was invited as a guest on Wednesday's show to be interviewed by the charming duo, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. However, before her chat, she couldn't resist joining in on the fun as Ainsley whipped up a delicious meal in the kitchen. Anastacia rushed over to the set and happily dug in, only to shock the hosts by revealing that she doesn't actually eat meat.
"I do not eat meat, people! This is the truth," she declared while piling up her plate. It was a baffling moment for everyone, as Anastacia, the queen that she is, seemed to be enjoying the dish despite her vegetarian lifestyle. Ainsley couldn't help but ask, "I've inspired you to go back?" to which the vocalist replied with a question of her own, asking for the best way to eat the dish - whether he recommends putting meat, potato, and broccoli on the same fork. Encouraging her, Ainsley replied with a resounding "Oh yes!"
Clearly impressed by the meal, Anastacia couldn't stop raving about it, saying "This is the perfect breakfast!" Alison, still in disbelief, asked her, "Are you really a veggie?" to which the American star laughed and confirmed, "Yeah! I don't eat meat." The hosts were mortified and Dermot even took the plate away, apologizing for the mix-up. But Anastacia was not backing down, defending her love for the dish.
Viewers were quick to react to this bizarre moment, with some expressing concern for Anastacia's vegetarianism, while others couldn't help but laugh at the irony of the situation. Some even questioned if she was a "flexy" vegetarian, someone who occasionally eats meat. It was a shock for many, with one viewer tweeting, "Just watched 'vegetarian' Anastasia sit and eat pork chops on #ThisMorning WTF!!"
Later on, while sitting on the sofa, Anastacia continued to make light of the situation, playfully pretending to pick pork out of her teeth. Still puzzled, Alison asked her, "Are you a meat eater now?" To which she gave a major compliment to Ainsley, saying, "Well, if he's cooking for me, I might have to convert."
While details of the extent of Anastacia's vegetarianism are not known, she has spoken about her diet in the past. In 2015, she opened up about her battle with breast cancer and how it changed her outlook on life. "I'm a veggie," she said, "Eats meat #ThisMorning." She also mentioned that she tries to avoid processed food, but hasn't made any major changes to her diet. "I eat to live, rather than live to eat," she explained. "Maybe because food fuels Crohn's disease, I have never associated it with pleasure. Besides, I'm not a model. I don't need to be a size zero. I'm a singer. If I become two singers on stage, what difference does it make? We'd just have to move a couple of musicians out of the way..."
