Pregnant Megan McKenna horrified fans on Instagram on Friday as they watched her stir piping hot tea into her bowl of Cornflakes.
The singer and former TOWIE star, 31, has become known in recent years for the extravagant meals she films herself making on social media.
However, the recipes have not been without controversy, as Megan is fond of one or two very odd food combinations.
While some may be chalked up to pregnancy cravings, Megan, who won The X Factor: Celebrity in 2017, made sure to tell fans her take on cereal was a regular occurrence.
Megan, who is six months pregnant, said in a Reel: ‘I’ve been up since 04:30. Before you judge me, yes, I’m having black tea on my cereal.

Megan said in a Reel: ‘I’ve been up since 04:30. Before you judge me, yes, I’m having black tea on my cereal’
She explained: ‘I don’t like milk on my cereal. I’ve always had this, this isn’t a pregnancy craving. So good’
‘I don’t like milk on my cereal. I’ve always had this, this isn’t a pregnancy craving. So good.’
Confused fans flooded the comments section and said: ‘Wait, did you just say tea???? is this a pregnancy craving? Xxx’;
‘How random is your breakfast x; ‘This meal is unhinged Meghan! Hahaha’; ‘Not for me lol’;
‘Omg tea with cereal? Lol Megan where do you come up with these ideas..would never have thought that’;
‘Haha you have the oddest combos of food here for it. But this one made gag’; ‘Eww lol’;
‘Defo having a girl’.
However, one adventurous fan wrote: ‘Meg, every time I come to your page, I pick up a weird eating habit that actually taste good.’
And another kindred spirit revealed: ‘Omg I thought I was the only person in the world that did this. I’m made up someone else does to.’
Confused fans flooded the comments section to express their shock, but one or two were on Megan’s side
Megan previously divided fans in April when she shared her very diverse breakfast.
While preparing her food, she told fans, again on Instagram: ‘I’ve had the worst heartburn all night and I’ve woken up so hungry. I’m having waffles, tinned tomatoes, and beans and then I’m going to have something sweet as well.
‘I’m adding some rocket and balsamic on the side and going to add syrup all over my breakfast because it tastes so nice. I’m finishing if off with salt and pepper.
‘I’m also having toast and Nutella but its really really depressing because I have like no Nutella really left.
‘I’m literally waking up five times a night to go for a wee but last night I only woke up twice which was amazing but I obviously had the heartburn.’
Just days before, she had caused controversy with a much less outlandish, but still quite bizarre, food combination.
She was staying in a luxurious £820-a-night stay at The Ritz London for her footballer fiancé’s 27th birthday.
The reality star, who suffers from coeliac disease, decided to order a penne Bolognese, but it’s what she had it with which left fans scratching their heads.

Megan opted to ditch the garlic bread and have a side of crispy chips instead.
The star is six months pregnant with her first child and is engaged to footballer Oliver Burke, 27.
She continued in the video: ‘I cannot sleep. Got to be quiet because Ollie’s asleep. So, I’m like 25 weeks now. I think I’ve had the pregnancy insomnia for the whole time but it’s been getting really bad.’
‘Also, last night, well, this morning as well, the baby is basically jumping on my bladder. I think that’s what’s waking me up.
‘Like, I literally can feel it bouncing on my bladder, and it automatically makes me need to go wee, it’s crazy.
‘I’m going to be so tired, later. Oh my God. Oh my God. It’s all going to be worth it. And, let’s be real: the baby’s going to be a Swiftie.’
Megan’s music is country-inspired so she admitted Taylor Swift has been a big influence on her.
She previously lamented to fans about being unable to secure tickets to Taylor’s sold out The Eras Tour, but Oliver was able to source them for her.

Megan and Oliver’s child was conceived through IVF.
In April, Megan was rushed to A&E after having a serious allergic reaction.
The TV personality said the reaction was not caused by her IVF medication but was actually from her ‘urine infection tablets’.
She said on Instagram: ‘My body is hypersensitive and it is more scarier having that because I worry about it affecting the baby but after speaking to the doctors at the hospital they said it can’t actually affect the baby having an allergic reaction.
