I'm A Celebrity fans 'can't imagine how hungry' contestants must have been throughout the show.

Viewers were left stunned after Ant and Dec revealed what the jungle diet looked like for this year's campmates.

On Sunday evening, McFly's Danny Jones was crowned as the King of the Jungle, while Coleen Rooney came in second place, and Rev Richard Coles in third.

After thanking viewers for their votes, the singer admitted: “I’ve had some of the hardest times I’ve ever had, and some of the highest of highs.”

Now, although the finalists were rewarded with a meal of their choice, they apparently had to put up with 'rations' over the past three weeks.

While many celebs have credited the 'rice and beans' diet for helping them losing weight during I'm A Celeb, Ant and Dec revealed just how much campmates receive each day.

Taking to social media, the presenters were yet again answering fan questions and filming their responses.

"How much rice and beans do they actually get each?" Dec read out, while Ant replied: "Ah well that's a very good question.

"And we've got the exact amount they get."

After showing two small brown packages to the camera, Ant said: "This is the rice and this is the beans that they get. "This is per person, per day. That's it. So if they don't do well in the trials then this is all they get."

"So let's open the bags," Dec continued. "So they really do rely on what they win because this is...."

"Not a lot is it? How rank does that look? Look at that man, imagine... no wonder they're picking them out the river the other day when they dropped them into the stream," Ant interjected.

Commenting on TikTok, one fan wrote: "Wow. I presumed they got that per meal, rather than per day."

"I wasn't expecting it being not that much," a second penned.

"That’s their evening meal. What do they do for breakfast and lunch?" a third wrote.

As another commented: "Is there a duty of care that they aren't getting their five a day of fruit or veg?"

Someone else said: "Thats actually insane, I can't imagine how hungry they were yesterday?"

This comes after 2016 'Queen of the Jungle' Scarlett Moffatt said she lost more than three stone from exercising for hours every day and eating only 700 calories in the jungle.

Michael Buerk's wife commented when he was in the jungle in 2014: "I was quite horrified to realise that they only get 500 calories a day in the jungle. It’s not that he dislikes rice and beans, but the rations are quite low."

LADbible Group has contacted ITV for comment.
