There are a few classic blunders in life. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go on a reality TV show that may require you to eat kangaroo penis and testicles blended into a variety of drinks.

Especially if you’re a vegetarian.

Alas, while the first is somewhat avoidable, British celebrity Timmy Mallet found that blended kangaroo twigs and berries is still a shocking possibility. The 53-year-old TV presenter was part of the UK reality show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here! and was booted off after the producers organized the challenge and he refused.

He said: “It was an eating trial. I wasn’t expecting that. I’m a vegetarian. How could I cope? Am I comfortable having to consume living creatures? The answer is no, of course I’m not comfortable. But I am a fighter and I believe you’ve got to be in it to win it.”

No. No, you really don’t have to fight in a round labeled ‘penis colada’. Seriously. Just run.
