Caught in THE ACT!

Jeremy makes a huge social faux pas on live TV but will he change his ways?

- JEREMY CORBETT

As you are no doubt aware, I'm in the middle of a potentially career-ending crisis at the moment.

Recently on The Project, a television show broadcast live to air on Three weeknights, we were served a dish of the latest TikTok weight-loss fare: copious amounts of mustard and cottage cheese surrounded by a delivery system of juicy gherkins.

I partook. That's part of my job, to put myself in the way of potential harm so you, the viewer, can be informed without personal risk, and I happily accept my role. Luckily, in this case, the experience was enjoyable. I compared it to the flavour of a Big Mac. I didn't immediately lose any weight.

The show finished, I removed my make-up, changed into my cheap clothes and headed home, unaware of the impending storm.
