Inside TV’s Celebrity Detox as stars are forced into disgusting treatment – leaving one contestant traumatised | The Sun

BRACE yourself for some of the most disgusting scenes in TV history next week with The Big Celebrity Detox.

The new series sees a wellness guru down a bottle of six-month-old fermented urine in front of shocked contestants, including Kerry Katona and Martin Roberts.

The stars are so revolted, they threaten to walk off set.

The segment is part of a urine therapy treatment introduced to the celebs, which gets them to sip their own wee to boost “focus and energy”.

But in a “don’t try this at home” moment their therapist sinks his own old urine, despite the show’s narrator claiming it “goes against medical advice”.

A source said: “This will go down as one of the most nauseating scenes ever on TV. It’s horrendous, an uncomfortable moment for the celebs, but also for viewers. Kerry was particularly traumatised.”

The stars also make themselves sick eating Pinon Blanco seeds, to release bad energy, and even spank each other.

On drinking her own wee, Princess Olga said: “It wasn’t as bad as I thought. I drink a lot of water, so it was very pale and didn’t have an odour or a particular taste.”
