I’m A Celeb’s shocking weight loss transformations as amount of food they actually get given is revealed
Seasoned I’m A Celeb fans will know all too well about the infamous rice and beans diet many of the campmates over the years have had to endure.
And, just last week, Ant and Dec revealed the shockingly low amount of food each person gets each day, showing just how 'rank' and 'horrible' the celebrities' daily gruel is - especially when they don't have any special treats to look forward to, due to a lack of stars in the Bushtucker Trials.
Looking back at previous I'm A Celeb contestants, it's clear many experienced quite the shocking weight loss transformation...
(ITV)
Fred Sirieix
Up first is 52-year-old First Dates host, Fred Sirieix, who appeared on the ITV show last year in 2023.

He admitted he left the camp extremely 'fit', explaining: "I was 76.6 kilos when I went in, I was the fittest I have ever been, physically and psychologically - I have trained and prepared for this. The focus has balanced me out in a way I have never been before in my life.
"In the jungle, because you are on rice and beans, first I lost a lot of fat but I lost a bit of muscle as well. But the muscle quality has gone up because I was very physically active. I lost 5 kilos (11lbs) I am so fit."
Georgia Toffolo
The Made in Chelsea star, 30, noticed a major change to her figure - namely that her bust got considerably smaller when she went into the jungle back in 2017.
Georgia, who reportedly lost 9 lbs Down Under, said at the time: "I feel really skinny. I had small boobies anyway and [now] I [look] down and I [am] completely flat!"
Emily Atack
The 33-year-old Inbetweeners star reportedly almost nearly a stone when she was on the show in 2018.
After leaving the jungle, Emily Atack opened up about one person commenting on her figure, recalling: "Some bloke just said to me in a restaurant whilst I was eating my dinner, 'No, stop. Starvation suits you.'
"What in the...!? I would throw my burg at you but that would be a massive waste love."
Chris Moyles
Radio DJ Chris Moyles revealed he lost a staggering stone and half on the show.
The 50-year-old, who was on IAC in 2022, explained: "I got weighed right at the beginning of isolation and they weigh you literally the first thing you do when you come out, you go see the medical officer and they weigh you and check that you're alright and not lost the plot and what not. So yeah, I lost weight."
Scarlett Moffatt
The ex-Gogglebox star took home the 'Queen of the Jungle' title back in 2016.
After opening up about her weight loss on the show, she went on to carry on dieting and subsequently released a controversial fitness DVD following her transformation.
However, after it was found she lost more than three stone from exercising for hours every day and eating only 700 calories, the 34-year-old resolved: "I feel like I'm finally in a place where I'm very chill, everything has clicked together.
"I've learned to be kinder to myself and I think it's the first time I can genuinely say I feel really confident."
Michael Buerk
Michael Buerk, 78, starred in the series back in 2014.
His wife, Christine, was clearly worried about the BBC broadcaster - especially considering the fact he was already fairly lean before entering the camp, and went on to lose a whopping 17 lbs during his stint on the show.
"I was quite horrified to realise that they only get 500 calories a day in the jungle. It’s not that he dislikes rice and beans, but the rations are quite low," she said at the time.
Stanley Johnson
Former MP Boris Johnson's dad, Stanley, also appeared on the show back in 2017, and dropped a stone-and-a-half following the rice and beans diet.
"I haven’t been that weight since 1954 and I want to keep it that way. Mind you, it’s a complicated way of losing weight," the 84-year-old previously confessed.
Nick Knowles
Nick Knowles lost a massive 14 kilos during his time on I'm A Celeb back in 2018.
Speaking of his shocking weight loss, the 62-year-old TV presenter said at the time: "You have to go all the way down to the bottom of a very steep hill to get wood for the fire, which you have to do about ten times a day. You also have to bring the water up the hill, 30 kilos worth when it's full, then you're going off doing trials with such little food.
"To give you an idea, I was in there something like 19 days. And I've lost 14 kilos."
