I'm a Celeb star Chris Moyles looks amazing after ditching "sh**" diet and cutting down his lager intake.

The radio presenter from Leeds opened up about his weight loss journey which began over 10 years ago on the ITV programme.

Fellow campmate Olivia Atwood told him he looked different before he replied telling her that he used to be "really fat."

Back in 2008, he weighed around 18 stone and now he weighs 12 stone. Although he didn't eat a lot, he has admitted that he ate "all sorts of cr**" at the time.

“I once bought a microwavable kebab," Speaking on the ITV show, Chris admitted. “From what I remember it tasted alright. But back then I was eating all sorts of crap.”

“I didn’t necessarily eat a lot but what I did eat was all bad. All bad.”

This wasn't the first time he opened up about his weight though, he spoke on Ross Kemp's where we revealed he struggles to maintain his new physique and confessed to struggling with body dysmorphia.

His weight loss journey began before climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in 2009. At Christmas, just months before the climb, he weighed 17.5stone.

But by March, he had slimmed down to 16 stone. During the climb, he lost a stone in a week but he struggled to lose any more weight.

His personal trainer bluntly told him that this was because his diet was “s***”. After making changes, he began to lose more weight.

In 2015, he told his Twitter followers he had stopped buying bread, cut his large intake, began eating better and trained regularly, reports The Mirror.

Chris now has a strict regimen of weighing himself daily and barely eating all day during the week.

Talking on Ross Kemp’s podcast in 2020, he said: “I weigh myself six days a week, and I know you shouldn't and I know it's not for everyone, but I do that so I can learn about how my body works.

"I will train Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and I will watch what I eat and I'll eat very little. I do intermittent fasting and I'll eat at 6:30pm or 7pm and I'll be fine. I need to do that from the weekends that I have.”

"I'm fascinated by body dysmorphia because I really have an issue with body dysmorphia, which I think most people do.”
