Pork On Your Fork

‘SOME people will do anything to get on TV and programmes like Fear Factor are designed to show just how far people will go.

For instance, in the second series of the US reality TV show contestants are forced to eat a pig’s rectum for the chance to win the £20,000 prize.

Presenter Ed Sanders said: ‘We had one guy who was loud and gave it large. When we showed him the rectum it had a piece of intestine with it. He took one bite and freaked. It took 10 minutes to get him back on set.

‘All the things they have to eat are safely prepared. Our cooks make sure the offal is safe to eat. But we don’t like to make things easy.

‘We have people who thank us later for helping them to overcome their fears. That makes me happy.”
