Jordan North's staggering I'm A Celebrity weight loss as he discovers six-pack

I'm A Celebrity 's Jordan North was stunned last night when he discovered he had a six pack.

The BBC Radio 1 DJ confessed to his campmates that he'd taken up running during lockdown in a bid to lose weight.

But it was only after a couple of weeks in the castle, living off rice and beans and staying off the beer, that he developed sculpted abs.

While in the castle bathroom on last night's show, Jordan caught his reflection in the mirror and couldn't believe what he was looking at.

While he was stroking his belly, Shane Richie told him: "You've got a bit ripped there, mate. You have, you've got a little six-pack going on."

An excited Jordan said: "I've not seen that before. That's because I've not drunk beer."

Shane pointed out that you could see "definition" around Jordan's abs.

The former EastEnders star shouted: "Jordan's got a six-pack, everyone!"

Shane told Jordan he should keep working on his new ripped torso after getting home, and Jordan told him: "Well I work out every day, and I go to the gym and run."

"But then you go straight to the pub," Shane suggested.

"Well, yeah," Jordan admitted. "But I run twice a week and stuff."

Jordan later joked he was "blushing" when he told the cameras about Shane noticing his six-pack.

Celebs often lose weight while taking part in I'm A Celebrity as they live off rations and small portions of food, depending on how many stars they can win in trials.

Campmates also commented on how TV presenter Vernon Kay was "wasting away" while in the camp.

Last night, Jordan was also seen asking Olympic legend Sir Mo Farah for some tips on protecting his nipples while running.

He said his shirt rubs on his chest so much that he often returned from his exercise to find his nipples bleeding.

He said he'd tried putting plasters over them but that it hurt too much to take them off.

Mo offered him the pro tip of rubbing Vaseline on them before he heads out.

* I'm A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV
