There may well be a benefit to a diet of rice and beans, as some of the I’m A Celebrity 2025 stars have revealed recently.
Here’s what the celebs have said about losing weight in the jungle…
I’m A Celebrity 2025 winner Angry Ginge talks weight loss
During an appearance on This Morning today (Monday, December 8), Ginge revealed that he lost a fair amount of weight in the jungle.
“I went on there as a bit of a weight loss journey and I’ve lost 7kg. I know I’m probably not recognisable,” he told Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley.
He also revealed that sometimes they’d go all day without eating before dinner.
“There were some days where we’d get to the end of the day, and I’d wait for the meal, and the meal was just so rubbish,” he said.
After leaving the jungle, he enjoyed a fry-up at the hotel. “I had a fantastic English fry up waiting for me in the hotel room,but there were tomatoes and mushrooms, so I left them and went straight for the hash browns and sausages,” he said.
Lisa Riley’s weight loss after jungle journey
Following her eviction last week, Lisa Riley, 49, revealed that she lost 20 pounds in the jungle.
“It’s portion control. Everyone says, ‘Oh, it’s beans and rice.’ Yes, it is beans and rice, but it’s actually what you consume,” she told The Sun.
“It’s the activeness – like when you go up to the Bush Telegraph to talk, it’s step after step. When you go to a challenge, you never stop moving. It’s endless. It’s not just sat around a campfire having loads of giggles.
“By the time you’ve consumed the beans at night, you’ve probably burned it off,” she explained.
Kelly Brook and Jack Osbourne
Kelly Brook has reportedly lost 15 pounds since entering the jungle, according to The Sun.
“Kelly prides herself on being body confident no matter what size she is so losing weight in jungle was the last thing she was focused on. Like the other stars, living on a calorie-deficit diet of rice and beans and being active with chores all day every day has seen her shrink in size,” a source claimed.
“After weighing herself back at the hotel, Kelly says she’s lost 15lbs, which is more than a stone. She’s dropped a couple of dress sizes and is looking and feeling great,” they then added.
Kelly’s representatives declined to comment when approached by ED!.
‘My stomach muscles hurt, but that could also be malnutrition’
Meanwhile, during his time in the jungle, Jack Osbourne admitted he had lost so much weight he didn’t have a backside anymore.
“The logs are so uncomfortable, and as we’re all losing weight, we have no ass,” he said in the Bush Telegraph.
Speaking about his best memories, he said: “I think my best memory probably will be just laughing. Like I’ve laughed so much. My stomach muscles hurt, but that could also be malnutrition.”
It remains to be seen whether any of the other stars will open up about their weight loss journeys while in the jungle.
