He then displayed a packet of Felix on his kitchen worktop, and added: “Cat food, now cat food, is perfectly edible, it is suitable for human consumption, and in fact, it has to be, because the tragedy is that some people when they get really hard up, eat it.”

After tasting the surprising dish, James said: “Needed a little bit more salt but perfectly okay.”
