I'm A Celeb: Owen Warner talks about his eating habits

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! winner Jill Scott and runner-up Owen Warner have opened up on their major weight loss after living on basic rations in the jungle.

While the show is known for its famous eating tasks, the quality and amount of food served to campmates is very strict, and Hollyoaks actor Owen has now revealed he lost over a stone in just three weeks.

The actor, who could be heard voicing his dreams for food in almost every episode of this years series, went into the show weighing 13st 3oz, but drastically left over a stone lighter at 12st 2oz.

He revealed how hes been making up for the lack of grub since leaving on Sunday, eating anything and everything at every opportunity.

He told The Mirror: "I have eaten a lot since I left. I was getting a haircut while eating my pizza like anytime he was cutting my hair, he stopped for a second and I was shoving pizza in my mouth.

"I would also recommend it. I don't think now I am going to get a trim without food!

But the gym-lover isnt too worried about his dramatic drop in weight as he plans to put it all back on within a week while he skips the gym.

He said: "I am 78kg, I was 85kg when I went in but give me a week and I will be back to 85.

This week I reckon I am just going to eat as much as I can, pile it on and start gym next week I reckon."

The new Jungle Queen Jill Scott also discussed how she got through the three weeks on minimal rice and beans rations.

I wasnt too bad to be honest. They were monitoring us and obviously it was just the hunger element, you dont know how many calories youre having but youre well looked after.

The Lioness explained how she wasnt worried as the stars were regularly checked over by specialists but did really miss her brew.

Theres a nutritionist. Its just more the fact its rice and beans as opposed to salt and sugar so for me not having caffeine in my diet for the first time in however long I did miss my tea and coffee.
