This Morning's Alison Hammond gobsmacked by Babatunde Aleshe's weight loss admission

This Morning's Alison Hammond was gobsmacked by Babatunde Aleshe's weight loss admission.

The presenter fronted today's edition of ITV's flagship daytime programme alongside Dermot O'Leary. They were joined by Babatunde on Friday's episode who spoke about his stint on I'm A Celebrity.

The comedian was a fan favourite on TV's toughest entertainment challenge before he was voted out earlier this week. He spoke to Alison and Dermot from Australia as he lifted the lid on what life was like in the Australian jungle.

Babatunde said adapting his diet was the hardest part of being in the camp. He said: "It was so different to watching it on the TV. They were serious. When they say rice and beans they really mean it.

"The food was definitely one of the toughest bits. You don't get salt, you don't get pepper." Alison said Babatunde looked "tiny" and asked the Celebrity Gogglebox star how much weight he lost.

The presenter gasped as he revealed he has lost a stone and a half. She added: "They really starve you in there, don't they?"

Babatunde said the first thing he ordered after leaving the camp was a whopping dish of chips, pizza and calamari. However, he was in hysterics when he revealed his first meal outside of I'm A Celebrity didn't quite go to plan.

He said: "My big sister ate it all the minute I turned my back."
