TV star Michelle Collins has revealed how she once rustled up a ‘toxic’ dinner after mistaking DAFFODILS for spring onions in the supermarket.
The 63-year-old, best known for playing Cindy Beale in EastEnders, said she was making dinner for herself and hubbie Mike when she made the bungle. She said she snapped up the daffs – which contain the highly toxic chemical lycorine, which causes nausea and vomiting, and even death – thinking they were spring onions.
Speaking this week, she said that hubby Mike Davidson, 41 – who she married in 2022 – had never ‘been kind’ about her cooking skills.

The mum-of-one, who was eliminated from Celebrity Masterchef in 2021 after a ‘disaster’ making flatbread and hummus, said it was ‘understandable’ that Mike was wary of her cooking.
Talking about her relationship with Mike, she said: “There’s more than 20 years between us, so I was a ‘cougar’.
“I hate that word. We get on, we support each other, he makes me laugh. Isn’t that more important?

“Having said that, he has never been very kind about my cooking.
“Understandable, really…once I made a stir-fry with daffodils, thinking they were spring onions.”
Speaking about the incident previously, she said she had bought the daffs after they were placed near the veggie aisle of a supermarket.
