Josh ‘JP’ Patterson has a phobia of grapes.
The ‘Made in Chelsea’ star gets "freaked out" by the fruit and is currently arguing with his girlfriend Binky Felstead about whether or not they’ll be introduced to their seven-month-old daughter India’s diet as she gets older.
He admitted: "I hate grapes. I’m terrified of them. They freak me out because of the texture. I won’t let Binks eat them and we’re having a debate about whether India is going to be allowed to have them."
The 28-year-old star tries to eat healthily but admitted sweets are his downfall, though he feels lucky because junk food never makes him gain weight.
He said: "I love Maoam Pinballs. I could eat junk food all day. Fortunately, I have the metabolism of a 13-year-old boy. I find putting on weight so hard."
Josh has a nutritionist come up with meal plans for him because he used to get bored with his "dire" diet and now has much more variety and enjoys his food more.
He said: "I went through a period where I was uneducated with nutrition and just ate brown rice, chicken and broccoli with no seasoning – and it was dire.
"You should enjoy the food you’re eating.
"I now spend a bit of money on a nutritionist and he writes out a food plan for me. He gives me a varied, balanced plan and I enjoy my food now."
And Josh knows his well-balanced diet means it’s OK to indulge in calorific treats on occasion.
He told new! magazine: "I eat anything and everything.
"I can eat sugar, burgers and pizzas if I’m going on a date night with my girlfriend and know I’ve eaten well during the day."
