Former child star Frankie Muniz has left many people scratching their heads after revealing he’s never tried a tomato or strawberry.

The Malcolm in the Middle actor, 38, is currently appearing on the Australian version of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!.

As the campmates did their best to make use of the rations they were supplied with in the jungle two days in, the group were discussing how to best use the ingredients for a dinner.

However, Frankie looked slightly nervous and told the others he was happy to just have plain chicken, before revealing he had never tried several foods they were set to cook with.

‘Wait, what foods haven’t you tried,’ former Big Brother star Skye Wheatley asked him after being shocked he’d never had items listed on their board.

‘I’ve never had a tomato. Ever, in my whole life,’ he shared.

Unsurprisingly, many of the others jumped in and couldn’t quite believe what they were hearing.

‘I’ve never tried it, but I like ketchup,’ he added, clearly attempting to make it seem like he was somewhat adventurous with his taste buds.

He then faced a bit of shade from the others, with Love Island star Callum Hole asking: ‘Wait, how old are you?’

Then starting to list other foods he’d never tasted; Frankie left the campmates even more shocked after making the admission he’d never even tried a strawberry.

At that point many threw their hands into the air and some even had to walk away.

Many people watching on at home were also perplexed at the admission.

‘Hasn’t eaten a tomato or a strawberry!!!!!!????? He certainly seems a bit oddball,’ user NWB_69 posted on X.

‘He’s Never eaten a tomato or a strawberry?! You’re missing out Frankie,’ Roxanne shared.

‘There’s no way Malcolm in the Middle has never eaten a tomato or strawberry in his whole life???’ Darcie added.

Another joked he had the ‘palate of a child’, however someone else defended him and said the star was ‘representing all of us picky eaters so well’.

However soon after Frankie decided to push himself and tasted a tomato part of a meal that had been prepared by former MasterChef star Khanh Ong, with the actor left impressed.

Best known for starring in Malcolm in the Middle between 2000 and 2006, in that time Frankie also starred in movies including Big Fat Liar, Agent Cody Banks and Racing Stripes, but put his acting career on hold in 2008 to pursue and open-wheel racing career.

From 2012 to 2014, he was also the drummer of the indie rock band Kingsfoil.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! airs on Channel 10 in Australia.
