Celebrity T.V presenter Fearne Cotton has described veganism as energizing and not as hard as she thought.

The star made the comment in the latest episode of The Chickpeeps Podcast, hosted by Harry Potterstar Evanna Lynch.

Cotton told Lynch her vegan journey started when she was 11. She ditched meat after watching a news show on the transportation of animals. However, the presenter said she hadnt even heard of veganism at this time.

More recently, Cotton said veganism had caught her interest as it propelled in the mainstream. She began cooking more vegan foods and then decided to eschew from animal products completely.

I incrementally became vegan, Cotton said. The last thing to go because I was never a big dairy fan anyway was eggs.

I loved an omelet and I was like I need to get over myself here and just stop eating eggs. Because its really not a big deal to not eat an omelet in the morning.

It was about a year and a half ago that I just went thats it, no more eggs. Goodbye eggs. And its been amazing. It hasnt been as hard as I thought at all.

When asked whether her decision to ditch eggs came from an ethical pressure, Cotton replied: I think I just wanted to go full hog vegan and really kind of live and breathe that experience and not buy any new leather products.

Now, I always try and buy either just non-leather products or shoes like Dr. Martens that do great vegan shoes.
