Everyone has a weird habit when it comes to food – especially celebrities.
Stars have opened up on their bizarre culinary preferences, sometimes leaving us wishing they hadn’t.
One sports pundit scoffs tuna with every meal, while a Hollywood star insists on only eating animals which have sex in the correct way.
One famous actress enjoys snacking in the nude, while another eats just one crisp when she’s stressed.
Let’s take a look at some of the weird and wonderful food habits of the rich and famous.

Jennifer Aniston’s sad, singular crisp

Friends actress Jennifer has always had an enviable pilates body, even at 52.
But her method of staying so trim is so depressing, we aren’t sure it’s worth it.
Last year, she made headlines when she revealed she only ever eats one of anything she thinks is ‘naughty’ – so yes, that’s one crisp, one sweet, or one M&M.
Asked by InStyle what she reaches for to comfort eat in moments of stress, Jen replied: “A chip [crisp]. Crunch, crunch, crunch.”
“Just one chip?” asked the baffled interviewer.
“Usually. I’m good at that,” replied the apologetic Morning Show star.
“I can have one M&M, one chip. I know, that’s so annoying.”
Jessica Biel’s shower snacks

In contrast, The Sinner actress Jessica Biel shamelessly revealed she doesn’t even let taking a shower get in the way of mealtimes.
Justin Timberlake’s wife admitted she will happily take food in there with her – and it’s not just a small snack.
She posted a photo on her Instagram showing an empty plate on the ledge of the shower, writing alongside it: “Yes. I eat in the shower. I admit it.”
Grilled on what exactly she was tucking into she responded: “Chicken apple sausage and espresso.”
Ed Sheeran’s ketchup pledge

Ed loves ketchup so much, he’s actually got the Heinz logo tattooed on his body.
And he was left fed up when restaurants failed to stock the tomatoey sauce – so he vowed to always keep a stash of it on his person, in case of emergencies.
A source explained to Page Six the Shape of You singer “ran out of patience with going to places that don’t serve it while he’s touring”.
They continued: “He’s made it a duty of key members of his entourage to carry a bottle wherever he goes so he can have it with everything from his morning sausage butty to upmarket dinners.”
He even believes it should be part of the government’s policy to stock it everywhere.
When he was voted the number one choice to take over as Prime Minister in a poll of British children, he posted a picture of the news story on Instagram with the caption: “I can’t even think of a caption for this let alone run the country but I would make 5am illegal and ketchup compulsory in all places with chips.”
Nicholas Cage’s bizarre sex demand
Actor Nicholas is no stranger to unusual demands – he once had a pyramid shaped mausoleum for himself constructed to be his tomb when the time comes, and he spent £203,000 on a dinosaur skull.
So when it comes to his diet, you’d expect something out of the ordinary – and you’d be right.
He’s not a vegetarian, but he’s very specific about the animals he does eat – if they have sex in a “dignified” fashion, they are spared.
“I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales – sentient life – insects, reptiles,” he told The Sun.
“I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex. I think fish are very dignified with sex. So are birds.
“But pigs, not so much. So I don’t eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl.”
The Queen’s sandwich superstition

According to the Queen’s former chef Graham Newbould, she can’t stand sandwiches that aren’t circular.
She would shun any triangle shaped creations for a “jam penny” sandwich during afternoon tea, he claimed, due to a superstition that goes back centuries.
“The royals never have square sandwiches because tradition has it that anyone presenting them with pointed-edged food is trying to overthrow the throne of England,” he revealed in the documentary Secrets of the Royal Kitchen .
There’s another theory as to why the monarch prefers a round sandwich, which dates back to Queen Victoria, according to HELLO!.
Legend has it her husband, Prince Albert, thought it was unlucky to eat anything coffin-shaped.

Darren McGrady, another of her former chefs, who cooked for the Queen for 11 years, also lifted the lid on her mysterious diet.
“The Queen doesn’t eat fancy rich foods all the time, nobody can,” he explained.
“It’s only when she’s entertaining guests that the Queen has a banquet with lobster and caviar and things like that, but the rest of the time it’s just healthy eating – a little bit of grilled fish with some salad.
“One of her favourites is Jam Pennies, they’re just bread and jam,” he continued, pointing to a picture of small, round disks of white bread with a layer of strawberry jam in the middle.”
Ian Abrahams’ tuna penchant

TalkSPORT presenter Ian was teased mercilessly when he confessed to his obsession with tuna.
He eats the fish with every single meal, including scones with clotted cream.
Waffles, strawberries and pancakes are no exception either.
Leaving himself open for ridicule, Ian often posts photos of his food on Twitter.
This included his ‘speciality’, about which he wrote: “I have never professed to be a Michelin Chef, but even I was pleased tonight with my signature dish, my Tuna Pasta Bake.”
The soggy-looking meal was branded “revolting” by trolls, while Michelin-star chef Michael Roux Jr. replied: “Oh dear,” with a sick emoji.
Pundit Ian shot back: “Me and my family love it (well that’s what they tell me).”
Victoria Beckham’s groundhog day diet

The world was appalled on Tuesday when football legend David Beckham revealed one of his wife’s biggest secrets.
The former Manchester United player claims the Posh Spice singer has “eaten the same thing for the last 25 years”, much to his dismay.
David confessed he and the fashion designer have only ever shared food from the same plate once over the years – with the former England captain dubbing the one-off incident “amazing” and one of his favourite memories.
“I get quite emotional about food and wine. When I’m eating something great I want everyone to try it,” the dad-of-four explained on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast.
“Unfortunately, I’m married to someone who has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years. Since I’ve met Victoria, she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables. She’ll very rarely deviate away from there.”
The star then went on to recall the one time fashion icon Victoria relaxed her usual diet and enjoyed a bite or two off her husband’s plate.
“The only time she’s shared something that’s been on my plate is when she was pregnant with Harper, and it was the most amazing thing,” David fondly remembered.
“It was one of my favourite evenings. I can’t remember what it was, but I know she’s not eaten it since.”
