Katharine Jenner, campaign director at Action on Sugar, said: “These findings are utterly irresponsi­ble given many of the products, packed with excessive sugar, will be eaten by children spending much of their time seated.

“Airlines should be held fully accountabl­e and provide healthier options, clearly labelled so passengers know what the nutrition content is.”

Clare Thornton-wood, of the British Dietetic Associatio­n, said: “Unless parents have packed their own food, not easy for a long-haul flight, they have little option but to feed children these high-sugar products.” I’M A CELEBRITY star Emily Atack has told how she suffered abuse about her weight from members of the public and was trolled online after leaving the jungle.

Emily, runner up to Harry Redknapp last year, says she was shocked to be a target of cruel jibes – and will ignore the comments when she is presenting this year’s I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp.

“I was interrupte­d during a meal at a restaurant by a man who told me to stop eating and that starvation suited me,” she recalled. “It was so rude and I couldn’t believe that someone would say that.

“I won’t ever be a size 8. I am too lazy and too busy to be in the gym all the time.”

The comedy actress, replacing Scarlett Moffatt on the spin-off show, suffered her first panic attack shortly before entering the Jungle and saw the show’s psychiatri­st before and during the experience.

Emily, 29, who found fame intv comedythe Inbetweene­rs, told campmate Noel Edmonds she was “soul-searching” following a “tough” break-up, and said she had had therapy to get over difficult life events, like her parents’ divorce when she was 16.

Says Emily: “I am a very anxious person. I will always get trolled but I have learned to become more thick-skinned and if there’s an article or a picture of myself that I don’t like online, it will soon be gone and then no one cares any more.

“When I was on I’m A Celebrity, I was stripped bare of my make-up and everyone saw my body and lumps and bumps and the only thing I can take from that is that people love me the way that I am, so why would I want to change.”

Yet Emily – whose book on life, Are We Thereyet?:to Indignitya­nd Beyond, is published on October 31 – says when she went on holiday to Mykonos this summer, she felt self-conscious wearing a swimsuit as she had put on a stone since the Jungle.
