Russell Wason reveals hardest part of being on I’m A Celebrity

OHMYGOSSIP — Russell Watson lost 20lbs in just two weeks when he went on ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’
The 56-year-old tenor competed in the 2020 edition of the ITV1 reality survival show – which was filmed ina castle in Wales instead of the usual Australian jungle due to travel restrictions put in place amid the COVID-19 pandemic – and admitted that he “loved” his time there although the “starvation” led to him losing a stone and a half.
He told OK! Magazine: “I look back on my time in the castle with a great deal of affection, I really did love it. There were elements of it that I didn’t enjoy, but even with the trials that I did, I still enjoyed it. I had a great time. Most mornings, I would wake up and use my fingers to make a little face in the ice on the windows so I could see out – it was that cold.
“By far, the most difficult aspect of the show is the starvation. I lost 20lb in just over two weeks – that’s a lot of weight. All you can think about when you’re hungry is food. It can make you feel quite grumpy and quite tired.
“I’m 6ft plus and a big lad, so I take a bit of fuelling up – 600 calories is lunch for me, not a day. That’s what I’d have in my sandwich. The food there is vile, that part really wasn’t nice.”
The ‘Someone Like You’ singer – who has daughters Rebcca and Helen with first wife Helen but is now married to Louise Harris – has enjoyed massive success in the world of opera but amid his life on a farm in Cheshire feels as if he is “10 different people” at once.
He said: “I feel like 10 different people. There’s the dad – I’m a father to two girls and even though they are grown up they’re still very reliant on me; the bank of dad, dad’s taxis, agony uncle dad. Then there’s the professional dog walker, professional fence fixer, professional gardener… Honestly, I can do it all!”
