British Celebrity Vegetarians (And Vegans)

By Jo /

Vegetarianism is growing in popularity all the time. When I started reading up on it I was surprised just how many celebrities were veggies like me. Below are some of the more famous vegetarians I found - you may well be surprised at some of the names in the list.

When I was creating the list I found quite a few other vegetarian celebrity lists online that contained celebrities who are not vegetarians, so I have verified the list below to the best of my ability.
