Lisa Riley Reveals Dramatic Weight Loss and affection for Ant McPartlin After ‘I’m A Celeb’ Exit
The emmerdale actress lost 20 pounds in just 21 days on the show’s famously restrictive diet and playfully admitted a preference for one of the show’s hosts.
Lisa Riley, 49, has opened up about her experience on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, revealing a meaningful weight loss and a lighthearted confession about her attraction to co-host Ant McPartlin. The actress, who was evicted from the ITV show on Friday, attributed her 20-pound weight loss in just 21 days to the combination of a limited diet and the physically demanding nature of jungle life.
Riley celebrated her transformation with a playful display, shaking her hips as she spoke with fellow campmate Ruby Wax, 72. While the diet consisted primarily of rice and beans, Riley emphasized that portion control and activity levels were key factors. “Everyone says, ‘Oh, it’s beans and rice’,” she explained.”Yes, it is beans and rice, but it’s actually what you consume.”
The Emmerdale star detailed the surprisingly active lifestyle within the camp. “When you’re in there, people don’t have an idea of the lifestyle, the geography of the camp,” she said. “It’s the activeness – like when you go up to the Bush Telegraph to talk, it’s step after step. When you go to a challenge, you never stop moving. It’s endless. It’s not just sat around a campfire having loads of giggles.By the time you’ve consumed the beans at night, you’ve probably burned it off.”
Beyond the physical challenges, Riley also addressed her playful comments regarding Ant McPartlin and his co-host, Declan Donnelly. Earlier in the series, she confided in campmates that she found Ant “way tastier than Dec,” elaborating that while Dec might offer comfort and security, Ant offered a more exciting prospect.
Though, Riley was quick to reassure fans about her commitment to her long-term partner, Al Benkovic. “I’m a flirt – I flirt with everybody. That’s who I am. I’m not going to stop,” she stated. “I’m a flirt,and I’m so secure in my relationship I can flirt with everybody – but I know who I go home to every night and who loves me and who I love.”
