I’m Tom Weekly and eating is my favourite sport.

My mum’s raspberry muffins are weapons of minor destruction. I’ve been trapped inside a runaway car on a trip to buy ice cream. I accidentally invented meatball bungee. And my recipe for chocolate mousse has a secret ingredient that you don’t even want to know.

What would you rather do?
1. Ride a shark or a rhino? 2. Kiss a dog or a cat?
3. Needle in the eye or bum set on fire?
