“Who knew?” he exclaimed
Mark recently spoke to Daily Star at the National Television Awards and revealed he has been turned down from I’m A Celebrity four times due to his weight.
He said: “Four times I’ve been asked to apply for an ITV reality TV show. But at every point they’ve gone from really wanting me to suddenly my weight is an issue.
“I’m getting a bit jacked off about that. Especially now that I’m down to the weight I am.”
