Andy Whyment lost 11lbs on I’m A Celebrity

Andy Whyment was called "noodle arms" on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ after he shed 11lbs.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actor admits he "didn’t realise [he] had that kind of weight to lose", but he managed to shake off nearly a stone which left the top of his arms feeling "so thin".
Andy – who finished second on the show last night (08.12.19) – said: "I’ve lost five kilos and I didn’t realise I had that kind of weight to lose.
"The top of my arms it feels so thin. Myles started calling me ‘noodle arms’.
"So it’s been a bit mad, really."
The cobbles legend – who has played Kirk Sutherland on the ITV soap since 2000 – admitted he was glad people would now know him for who he is, rather than his character.
He said: "It’s been a mad experience. There were so many highs, and a few lows. I had such an amazing time.
"It felt weird. I’ve been in ‘Coronation Street’ for 19 years and when I’m walking along the streets people say, ‘Oh, there’s Kirk.’ But to know people have got behind Andy Whyment it just meant so much to me and I’m really humbled by that."
And Andy admitted he was planning to get "very, very, very drunk" following his latest interview.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’, he added: "It’s been a roller coaster day but I’m going to go and have a few drinks now and get very, very, very drunk."
The 38-year-old actor came within inches of lifting the crown on the ITV reality show, but he wasn’t disheartened to lose out to Queen of the Jungle Jacqueline Jossa.
He said: "Jac is an amazing woman and I hope she gets everything she deserves in life, because she’s amazing.
"I’m so chuffed for her, you know what I mean?
"We had a mad experience in there, it was something I’ll never ever forget."
The ‘Coronation Street’ star was a late addition to the jungle, but got stuck in with his fellow camp mates, and said he found the experience "harder" than he imagined it would be.
Speaking before the result was announced, he said: "[It’s been] surreal, honestly. I’m getting emotional. You know how much of a big fan I am of this show, and to get to do it … to get to the final [is amazing].
"It was a lot harder than I thought. When you watch it at home you’re only seeing an hour or an hour and a half, so you don’t realise how much hard work there is to go into just keeping the camp running."
