I’m A Celeb’s Cliff Parisi fears getting the boot from Call the Midwife too after 2st jungle weight loss

EVICTED I’m A Celebrity star Cliff Parisi fears he could also get the boot from Call the Midwife after losing so much weight in the jungle.

The actor, 59, who plays Fred Buckle in the BBC drama, shifted almost two stone in just over a week in the Oz bush.

But he is now worried about talking to producers as he has historically been the “big, fat, useless mechanic”.

He told The Sun: “I went in there to go on a diet. I am planning to stick with the diet and lose a bit more weight.

“I don’t know what my employers are going to think about that.

“I’m sure they don’t want me to lose too much because I’ve been in the series for ten years and I’m the big, fat useless mechanic.”

Cliff, also known as lovable mechanic Minty on East­Enders, was one of two late arrivals in this year’s show.

But he struggled to make an impact, largely because he was exempt from some Bushtucker Trials because he has two slipped discs.
