Rev Richard Coles’ 5,000 calories a day confession
Before heading into the I’m A Celebrity jungle back in 2024, Richard admitted to consuming 5,000 calories a day on a cruise to prepare himself for surviving on rice and beans Down Under.
“My run-up to the show was going on a cruise. I would like to say that I’ve been lowering my calorie intake to prepare for that, but that’s not worked out,” he told the MailOnline.
“I’ve been on a 5,000 calories a day sort of diet. So I think I’m already fatter since my measurements the day before yesterday, and will be for the next set of measurements,” he then continued.
“I tried to [diet], and I thought I should because I imagine the body will notice going from 5000 calories a day to 500 calories a day, but it’s good, and I will lose a bit of weight.”
