Broadcaster Vernon Kay told Jeremy Vine to “wind his neck in” today after the latter went on a peculiar rant, saying croissants are poisonous and should never be eaten.
Jeremy appeared to be making some connection between eating croissants and developing osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes bones to become weak and fragile.
Jeremy said Dr Sarah Jarvis, who regularly discusses osteoporosis and health on television and who received a diagnosis for osteoporosis in mid 2023, had “not had a croissant for 40 years”.

Vernon Kay clashes with Jeremy Vine on croissants poison debate
According to Jeremy Vine, people shouldn’t eat croissants.
“You don’t eat poison in moderation,” he said, in an effort to justify the statement.
“It’s bad, it’s unhealthy, isn’t it? It’s full of just garbage. Yeah, terrible.”
Vernon Kay disagrees.
“Behave yourself!” he countered. “Wind your neck in, Vine! A croissant? Poison?”
Jeremy retorted that you wouldn’t drink petrol in moderation.
To which Vernon replied: “That’s because it’s non-edible, Jeremy.” Inedible, too.
“That’s why. Don’t ever… If I ever catch you stood outside a BP with a petrol pump in your mouth, I will give you a thrashing.”
Jeremy contends that croissants are, in fact, poisonous… (Credit: Jeremy Vine & Storm Huntley on 5/YouTube)
