LOOSE Women star Janet Street-Porter finds roadkill and takes it home to cook.
The TV personality, 72, says she collects dead deer and skins and butchers it for long-term partner Peter Spanton to dine on.
She insists it is environmentally friendly.
Janet told the ITV show: “I eat roadkill. If see a deer by the side of the road that’s been hit by a lorry or a car [I pick it up], what else are you going to do?
“We used to eat it, there’s nothing wrong with it.
"You can go on YouTube and watch a video on how to slaughter it.
“Venison is a free range meat that lives on grains and it is very healthy, better than most chickens.
"I eat game, I eat fish, we had a fish last week that we caught, put a line in the river, caught a sea bass, nothing wrong with that.”
Former newspaper editor Janet blasted a vegan diet claiming it isn’t as healthy as reports.
She said: “I understand why a lot of people have become vegan and vegetarian, I don’t agree with it and also don’t agree with all the claims made for following a vegan diet.

“I don’t think it’s any better for the environment than a diet that’s balanced that has less meat and more grains.
“What’s happened with vegetables is that a large number of the vegetables we grow are raised in green houses or poly tunnels and are raised using all sorts of chemicals, or are flown in.”
Last year Springwatch presenter Chris Packham, 58, revealed he collects roadkill and stores it in a freezer before feeding it to foxes.
