She hasn’t fully committed to being a vegan full time but she says she eats mainly a began diet.
In her Guardian column, she wrote: “In my game, as a restaurant critic, it would be more acceptable to come clean as a roaring alcoholic, a snob or a tax evader than reveal my actual clandestine secret.
“But here goes: my name is Grace Dent and I eat mainly vegan.
“By that I mean the guts of my diet are plants and veg. I’m perpetually throwing back handfuls of nuts and seeds. A bit like a giant hamster, possibly, but with a better bra and lipstick.

“I say “mainly” as there are caveats and slip-ups. “Plant-based” is closer. “Flexitarian” is a word people use for me (as well as much ruder things when I appear in their restaurant, I’m sure).”
Why did Grace Dent quit I’m A Celebrity?
Grace is said to have quit I’m A Celeb on “medical grounds”.
A spokesperson for ITV explained: “Unfortunately Grace Dent has left the show on medical grounds.
“She has been a great campmate and will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers alike.”
Her exit came after Grace had told other campmates that she was ready to go home.
She told This Morning’s Josie Gibson: “I’ve had enough. I’ve completely had enough. I just want to go home.”
A source said: “Grace was having a tough time away from her family and struggled with the lack of sleep and good food. But more than anything she was really pushed to the brink by the gruelling trials this year.
“The Scarena series meant the celebrities were all taking part in more challenges than ever and Grace had just had enough.”
Grace had taken part in multiple Bushtucker trials during her time on the show.
In the first show she took on Pole Position before the group Locker Shocker challenge.
She managed to win Touchdown of Terror when fellow campmate Nella Rose forfeited.
