I’m A Celeb’s Vernon Kay reveals his 30lb weight loss as Tess Daly prepares to feed him up with meat and chocolate
TESS Daly is getting ready to feed her husband Vernon Kay up after he lost 30lb on I’m A Celebrity.
The Strictly Come Dancing host has got all of Vernon’s favourite foods ready after he told her he’s lost over two stone while he’s been away.

“So I’ve been shopping to get some of his fave foods ready for his return… mostly meat, chocolate and of course his favourite Yorkshire Tea bags.”
Vernon left the camp looking slimmer last night after living on meagre meals for 21 days.
TV presenter Vernon, who stands at six foot four inches, was considerably more svelte than when he entered Gwrych Castle last month.
Vernon suffered from the paltry meals in camp and not-surprisingly lost weight in the three weeks he spent in the castle.

The presenter, 46, came in third place during the live finale and told host Ant and Dec that he’d achieved his goal of “making his girls” proud.

I’m A Celebrity took place this year in Gwrych Castle in North Wales for the first time due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Vernon, Jordan North, 30, and Giovanna Fletcher, 35, ended up being the final three contestants all vying for the crown.
All three have been stand out stars of the series and Tess couldn’t resist sharing her delight at her husband’s success.

The Strictly Come Dancing host followed it up with a collage of photographs from Vernon’s Instagram account and his time in the Castle, and added the gushing caption.
She wrote: “LOVE YOU VERN What a rollercoaster… he went in wanting to make us proud, and he made us beyond proud!!
“He’s a winner in our eyes and we’re just chuffed to have him home! But that cashmere blanket’s going straight in the wash… [laughing face emojis]”
She added: “Huge congratulations to @mrsgifletcher and a massive thank YOU for posting, voting, phoning and cheering him on all the way… the support has been overwhelming, we are stunned and so grateful xxx.”
Earlier in the evening Vernon had paid his own tribute to his beautiful wife leaving viewers across Britain sobbing as he broke down in tears.
He said: “I love you baby, you know I do.
“Love you forever and ever. And girls – I hope I’ve made you so proud.”
Vernon’s voice then cracked as he teared up, holding up the tag that came with his gift from home, which he wears around his neck.
One fan wrote: “Vernon crying hoping he’s made his daughters proud .
Another tweeted: ‘Tess i love you baby’ my heart vernon.”
