Amir Khan shares picture showing drastic weight loss after I’m A Celeb

His time in the jungle has taken its toll on the boxer

Amir Khan became the seventh contestant to depart I’m A Celeb 2017.

The 31-year-old boxer narrowly missed out on a place in the show’s final four, leaving Iain Lee, Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo, Jennie McAlpine and Jamie Lomas remaining in camp.

While his appearance in the jungle has reportedly earned Khan £300,000 – one of the biggest fees ever paid out to a contestant – his spell in the jungle has seen him lose a few pounds in a different sense.

As was revealed last week, the celebrities have lost weight during the show having had to cope with limited food supplies over the course of their time at camp. Contestants are told to expect to lose around 11lbs (5kg) before entering the jungle.

While there’s no word on how many lbs Khan has shed during the last couple of weeks, the image he shared on Twitter on Friday showed that his time on the show had taken its toll on his body.

Khan has yet to fight since he was knocked out by Canelo Alvarez in 2016 and had delayed his preparations for returning to the boxing ring while he entered I’m A Celeb. He has attempted to work out in the jungle alongside fellow campmates Jamie Lomas and Dennis Wise.
