How unrecognisable I’m a Celeb star Chris Moyles shed 5st with strict food ban and killer workouts with famous pal’s PT
HE shocked the country when he unveiled his incredible weight loss - and Chris Moyles has kept up with his strict new lifestyle ever since.
The DJ, 48, is currently starring on the 22nd series of I'm A Celebrity, where no shortage of hungry contestants have lost a ton of weight.
But before Chris gets to enjoy a diet of insects and animal body parts, we look back at how he was able to go from 18st to a much healthier 12.
From a strict juice diet to gruelling workouts with an ex-pro boxer's trainer and ditching bread, Chris has dedicated more than eight years to his new look - and it's paid off.
The Radio X presenter was motivated to shed the pounds after admitting he feared he'd die if he kept up his unhealthy lifestyle.
"I'm getting older. If I don't keep fit I will be dead by the time I am 50," he said.

'The fat breakfast DJ stage'
Chris has admitted working early morning shifts on Radio 1's Breakfast Show for years meant his lifestyle became unhealthy.
He previously dubbed his stint on the show as his 'fat breakfast DJ stage' and it's been widely reported he used to eat mostly junk food and snacks while working.
Ditching bread and cutting down lager
“And I watch what I eat now that I've had to learn to cook for myself and that takes up a lot of my time, especially if I'm not drinking, which I have been trying not to do lately.”
Chris previously told Ross Kemp that he weighs himself up to six times a week just to learn how his body is working.
He added: "I will train Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and I will watch what I eat and I'll eat very little.
"I do intermittent fasting and I'll eat at 6:30pm or 7pm and I'll be fine. I need to do that from the weekends that I have.”
Knowing when to draw the line
While Chris managed to cut down the lager when he first began his weight loss journey, he also revealed he'd begun noticing the difference it made to his body too - which spurred him on even further.
He told The Sun in 2014: “I don’t know what I used to think when I looked in the mirror when I was at my worst.
“Now if I go out on a Friday or Saturday and have a few beers, I can see that I’m bloating in the mirror on Sunday.”
However, like with any of us, Chris does still have his cheat days - and he previously joked they make him feel so bad, he "cries himself to sleep" after doing it.

“I fall off the wagon sometimes and buy a pack of salt and vinegar chip sticks and a pack of cookies and eat them, and I feel bad about myself and cry myself to sleep. That happens," he joked.
Let's face it, everyone deserves a few cheat days.
