Man who went viral for wacky dinners now facing surgery after stomach problems

A man whose wacky dinners went viral on the internet has ended up in hospital with chronic stomach problems.

Jason Jovanovic, 43, became an hit with social media users overnight when he posted pictures of his mishmash meals.

Some of the dinner 'delights' included fish with bread and beans, ravioli with Yorkshire puddings and pork chops, or chilli con carne fish fingers and chips.

However, the customer assistant for a competitions company, is now facing serious surgery in hospital on his gall bladder after contracting an infection from food poisoning two months ago.

Jason claims he will be sharing his medical journey with his Instagram followers to see if his “processed and fatty foods” diet contributed to his ill health.

The bizarre dinners have caught the attention of more than 30,000 followers (@superpedjason/Instagram)

Jason from Sheffield told Mirror Online : “I’m going to show the doctor my account so he can see my diet and ask him if the fatty foods have contributed to this.

“More than likely they have. I’ve lost nearly a stone in weight and I’m in a lot of pain.

“People on my Instagram have been really nice, lots of people have got in touch to ask me if I’m OK.”

Last month, Jason revealed that he “didn’t understand the fuss” over his meals, which have earned him a following of 35,000 fans on Instagram.

The kitchen-shy singleton also admitted he’s “never been good” at cooking and prefers to knock something quick and convenient up after work.

He said: “I usually just make something out of whatever I’ve got in the cupboards and can pull together after work.”

Jason has admitted may have to overhaul his diet and start finding healthy dishes to eat (@superpedjason/Instagram)

But despite his stomach problems, Jason insists his Instagram account is not in jeopardy as he still won’t learn to cook.

Instead he claimed: “I can’t see myself actually cooking anything or learning how to cook.

“I think I’ll just try and find something healthy that I can stick in the microwave.”
