Harry Redknapp has been showing off his incredible weight loss transformation since winning 2018’s I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! He revealed that he had lost one stone to trim down. How did the former football manager do it?
Therefore the limited portions of rice and beans, topped up every now and again by exotic foods like wallabies and crocodile when challenges have been won, played a major part in Harry’s weight loss transformation.
However, the former football manager and player struggled with food during his time in the jungle and admitted that he found the food “difficult to eat”.
He said: “I found the food difficult to eat, I’m not a fan of wallabies, kangaroo, crocodile, emu — it was all stuff that I’ve never eaten in my life.”

In the jungle, contestants are put on a basic meal plan which is what Kate has been following for the past two weeks.
The restrictive plan means celebrities will often lose weight while taking part in the show.
However, Kate has made some changes of her own which have helped her drop an impressive two stone in recent years.
The journalist said she got into the best shape of her life by cutting one food group out of her diet.
“I tried different popular diets and realised, because of the crazy shifts I do, I regulated my energy with sugar bursts,” she told Fit & Well magazine.
After struggling to slim with different diets, Kate decided to cut out sugary snacks and instead replaced this with healthy foods.
“Eating avocados and low-sugar foods help keep my energy levels up.”
