Paul Burrell lost more than one-and-a-half stone in the I’m A Celebrity camp.
The former royal butler, 64, shed the weight in just three weeks because he was barely eating.
He said: “I’ve never been as hungry as that in all my life. I lost 22lb. At points I think we were all dreaming about food. People at home don’t realise how hungry you actually are.

“You get tired, lethargic. You want to lie on your bunk.
“You’ve just got to keep going for the good of the camp. You have to win challenges and trials or nobody eats.”

Paul got the boot from camp alongside Carol Vorderman just one day before the final.
In her first interview about her time on the show, she said: “The trial in the tanks was horrendous
“It was awful. I really panicked doing it. I didn’t make it into the last tank.
“I only had a couple of minutes left, but even if I’d have had 10 minutes, I wouldn’t have done it.

“I was so scared. When we were on our way back to camp, I could feel the emotions building up in me. I must admit, it knocked me for a couple of days. I kept reliving it in my head.”
Former Countdown favourite Carol reckons trials on this series of I’m A Celebrity in South Africa are even scarier than usual.
“They were a lot tougher than in Australia,” she said. “Everyone said that. They were on another level.”
The former Countdown star turned up the heat in the South African jungle as she shed her bug-infested camp wardrobe to have a wash.
Alongside Myleene Klass, the duo went on to stand around camp and discuss chores, with maths whizz Carol staying in her string bikini to cool off a little more.
Viewers at home also loved what they were seeing, with one person writing: “Carol is unreal,” alongside a heart-eye emoji.
