Little spiders shown very occasionally in the lead up to tasks from S3 onwards. In S5 or S6, the title card has a spider in. In S10E10, the first task is around putting shoes onto a giant fake spider in the garden. The spider however looks incredibly realistic.

Greg frequently discusses his own weight in a self-deprecating way, talks about diets and directly instruct the viewers to "stop eating", to exercise, and he talks about calories ect. He's often looking straight into the camera during those moments. There are also a lot of "gross out" tasks where contestants have to eat disgusting things and some end up vomiting. There are also several other occasions of binge eating and vomiting. (see "is there vomiting" for episodes and time stamps)

In the season with Ian sterling and Joe Thomas there is a task where they must create the most realistic injury from food, some are quite realistic. It would be easy to skip this task when it is introduced. In the same season there is a task to make the tastiest dust and both sian Gibson and Paul sinha cut themselves whilst grating food
