ITV I'm a Celebrity's Chris Moyles shares two things he cut from diet to lose six stone

I'm a Celebrity's Chris Moyles has revealed how he lost six stone.

The former Radio 1 DJ weighed 18 stone at his heaviest, but after changing his lifestyle, Chris now weighs 12 stone. The 48-year-old credits his girlfriend Tiffany, whom he started dating in 2015 after moving to Los Angeles, for helping him lose weight.

Speaking to his celebrity campmates about his weight loss, Chris said he had stopped drinking alcohol and cut out certain foods.

Chris said: “I once bought a microwavable kebab. From what I remember it tasted alright. But back then I was eating all sorts of c***. I didn’t necessarily eat a lot but what I did eat was all bad. All bad.”

He added: "I climbed Kili [Mount Kilimanjaro] in 2009. I was 17.5 stone at Christmas and we were climbing in March. I got down to 16. I climbed Kili and lost a stone in a week.

"I sat at 15 [stone] for ages and I had a trainer, and one day I just went, 'It’s a waste of time this training, I’m not losing any weight' and he just barked at me, 'That’s because your diet’s s***'.

"So we had a big chat… I fell down to 12 stone really quickly."

In 2017, Chris squashed rumours that he'd used a diet pill. He said: “I have never even heard of this product, let alone used it. I don't want people reading this and thinking that's how I lost weight. So here, from my tiny mouth, is the truth.

“I stopped buying bread. Dramatically cut my larger intake. Started eating better food... Trained regularly. That's it. I just wanted you to know I didn't use any supplements."
