Could Declan Donnelly be the next star to jump on the vegan bandwagon? The Britain's Got Talent host has revealed he is tempted to try out the plant-based lifestyle, after seeing his friend Simon Cowell's fantastic results. "Simon's looking good," Dec admitted. "He's gone all vegan… vegan shepherd's pie, vegan sausages, what's that about?" Dec quipped: "Is that the secret? I'll have to look into that!"
Simon, 59, has managed to shed two stones after ditching meat, fish, dairy products and such. The media mogul has been showing off his incredible weight loss on the red carpet, promoting America's Got Talent in California. The X Factor judge started to take care of his health after a scare in 2017, when he fell down the stairs as a result of low blood pressure.
