#64 Matt Pritchard: Celebrity chef, pro skateboarder, and "wild man-turned-Ironman" vegan

Matt Pritchard has achieved a lot in his 48 years. He shot to fame as a professional skateboarder and stuntman for MTV’s hugely successful programme Dirty Sanchez, before reinventing himself as a celebrity chef in 2019 – hosting the first vegan cookery TV show, Dirty Vegan, on BBC. He’s also released two vegan cookbooks: Dirty Vegan and Dirty Vegan: Another Bite. In recent years though, it’s his transformation into an ultra-fit Ironman that has been his main focus and preoccupation. Viva!’s Faye Lewis caught up with the “wild man-turned-Ironman” and chatted vegan stereotypes, having an addictive personality, and, of course, his love of food and journey to veganism. Following the interview, Faye is joined by Viva!’s head of investigations, Lex Rigby, to talk about Matt’s incredible story. Please don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe to our podcast.
