This week, we travel to Cambridge to meet Dudley, a man who only eats food the colour yellow and hasn't eaten a vegetable in over 10 years. Dudley and Chris are sat on a sofa talking to the camera Dudley- It all started when I was a kid really. My Dad used to make me eat broccoli, sprouts, spinach etc. with every meal but one time I vomited so much that it just scarred me to be honest. I found comfort just eating crisps and chips all day and now that's what I love to eat. Chris- Yeah I'm really worried for Dudley, I know that this isn't normal and I know it's dangerous for him. Me and the boys will go out and if we go kebab van or something Dudley will  just get loads and loads of chips. No meat no salad nothing. Dudley- It's not just crisps an...
