I'm A Celebrity star Gemma Collins reveals exactly how much weight she lost in South Africa
Gemma looks amazing!I’m A Celebrity all stars may be only at the beginning, but all of the campmates are already back in the UK. And following the stint in South Africa Gemma Collins has revealed her significant weight loss – but how much did she lose?
While in the jungle it’s no surprise that the celebrities are quick to lose some weight and have a huge transformation, let’s face it, they’re surviving on basically beans and rice the entire time!
But following the second series of the show, Gemma has spoken about how she found the whole experience – after leaving early the first time around. And she’s actually lost quite a bit of weight.
How much weight did Gemma Collins lose on I’m A Celebrity
Gemma has previously been open about her weight journey, confirming she had taken weight-loss jabs last year, until a gallbladder attack stopped her using them.
But it seems the jungle also caused Gemma to lose some weight. Speaking to OK! she revealed: “When they weighed me, I’d lost 1st 4lbs.”
The huge weight loss is just the continuation of Gemma’s incredible journey, that she has been displaying online for fans.
Not only that, but Gemma also found staying on the show actually helped her not need to spend as much time on her mobile when she got out.
She explained: “It was the best digital detox. It was very spiritual and healing being with nature.”

Since coming home, she has a “new rule” that her phone “stays in the kitchen overnight” so she isn’t immediately on it on the morning.
Gemma said: “One of the best things that came out in the jungle was actually having a genuine conversation. I heard stories from other campmates that I never knew about them. They found stuff out about me. We laughed and we cried. But we genuinely became human again, and not distracted by our phones.”
What is Gemma like on the show?
Gemma’s time on the show has only just started to air on TV. The GC was a late arrival, and so of course she had quite the iconic entrance.
After the first episode, many I’m A Celebrity fans were worried the show wasn’t that good this time, and many just wanted to see her on their screens. However, that all changed after Gemma Collins arrived during Tuesday night’s episode (April 7).
Immediately, she was the star of the show and fans at home were very much obsessed with her.
With a huge cliffhanger preventing fans from seeing exactly how she fares in the rest of the eating trial, it’s safe to say she has already delivered enough entertainment to keep the fans coming back for more.
