James Haskell almost bares all as he shows off weight loss in very revealing snap

Former rugby union star James Haskell split from his wife of five years, Chloe Madeley in 2024, but it looks like he has been working on his revenge body in recent months Former rugby union star James Haskell has shown off his weight loss transformation by leaving very little to the imagination in a daring towel snap. Fans had noticed the 40-year-old he was looking like he'd slimmed down in photos from a tennis event earlier this month. ‌ James, who split up with his wife of five years Chloe Madeley last year, wore a tight-fitting t-shirt to the event, held at 601 Queen's Road in London, for Lady Wimbledon's Rooftop Tennis Party. But the I'm A Celebrity star has gone one step further this morning, sharing a photo of himself naked in a hotel room. ‌ Dad-of-one James was completely in the nude, except for a necklace and a tiny portion of a white towel, which he held over his crotch to make the photo just about SFW. He smiled into the camera has he strategically placed the towel at his front but didn't caption the photo. ‌ His other Story posts saw him DJing at an event and watching the rugby. James' weight has yo-yoed over the years. From his muscular rugby days, to his leaner physique when he left the I'm A Celebrity jungle, to his current toned-up body now. The sports star, who became a tech-house DJ in recent years, has spoken openly about his changing body. After leaving his rugby career behind, having spent most of his years with the London Wasps, he announced he was retiring in 2019. ‌ He joined the I'm A Celebrity cast the same year, and his diet drastically changed from gorging on 4,000 calories a day, to eating the measly in-camp meals of rice and beans. Dropping to around 700 calories a day, James looked visibly slimmed down when he left the jungle - but admitted later his 10kg loss was mostly muscle mass, telling the presenters Joel Dommett and Emily Atack he was "wasting away." He told Extra Camp while he was on the ITV reality show: "I never thought I would look at a menu and chose crocodile feet. We're still only getting 700 calories per day. "We're slowly wasting away, but wasting away with dignity!" Speaking about the campmates' attempts to spruce up their meals, he added: "We're literally scraping the barrel of discovering different ways of cooking rice and beans and trying to add some flavour." ‌ Just after leaving the jungle, the UK was plunged into lockdown amid the Covid pandemic, causing him to lose another 19lbs thanks to a strict diet. He shared some comparison photos of his body on Instagram, writing: "I got bored in lockdown 2 and saw how big I could get... 130kgs. "Lockdown 3 I have gone the other way. I'm 8 weeks in and have gone from 122kgs to 113kgs." ‌ He added that he had been training remotely with a PT, adding: "The idea is to get leaner now and then build back up slowly over the coming week. It's been really fun to have a goal and stick to it. It gives you purpose, routine and discipline. All things we strive on as humans." Haskell split up with his wife of five years Chloe Madelely in 2024, with the former couple still co-parenting their two-year-old Bodhi, who turns three in August. Recently, James has admitted that he was to blame for the end of his relationship with Chloe, who is the daughter of former This Morning hosts Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan. He revealed to the Mail: "If I put more time into my marriage than I did Guinness, then I wouldn't be divorced now. It's one of those things in life where some things don't work out, but I have so much love for my daughter and Chloe. It's teamwork. 'What we all forget is when you have children and a marriage finishes, it's all about the kids. Chloe and I are amazing co-parents. Our priority is always Bodhi."

Joel Dommett praises 'incredible' celeb pal after health battle

The Masked Singer host is getting ready for tomorrow's London Marathon and is running for a cause close to his heart that's helped his friend and mother-in-law Joel Dommett has praised his 'incredible' friend Davina McCall for her strength following her brain tumour - as he gets ready to run the marathon in aid of the charity which helped her. The Masked Singer host Joel, 39, is raising money for Brain Tumour Support, which helped show judge Davina, 57, who had a six-hour operation in November. She had a colloid cyst – a rare, fluid-filled benign tumour – and has just got the all clear. Joel said: 'She's just one of the most incredible, positive, beautiful people I know. The way she lived life before the operation was incredible. Now she's got a new lease for life. ‌ ‌ "Me and Hannah love her and Michael so much. She's been like a sort of sister, mother, best friend to me. I'm so glad she's got through this crazy time and come out the other side.' The charity is also close to Joel and wife Hannah's heart as it helped them cope when Hannah's mum had complications from a brain op five years earlier. He said they provided guidance and support when it felt everything was falling apart. 'So the least I can do is run 26 miles," says Joel. Joel has run marathons before but found training this time tough as he juggled filming two new TV shows, his Happy Idiot tour and family life with Hannah, 35, and one-year-old son Wilde. Hannah will be at the finish line for the first time and has given Joel an incentive to hit his target time of three hours. He said: 'She said at 1.05pm, if I've not crossed that line, she'll go. So I've got to get there otherwise that's my lift gone. She doesn't go back on a promise.' Joel's training runs have been unusual, sprinting home from work when he can and dumping his clothes in a bush in Acton, West London. He said: 'I do need to go back and get them. I feel bad. I mean, essentially, it's littering.' ‌ Joel, who started as a stand-up comic and on panel shows, became a household name as the runner-up in 2016's I'm A Celeb. He presented the spin-off Extra Camp, and landed his The Masked Singer gig in 2019 and also hosted sister show The Masked Dancer. The BBC came calling with their series Survivor and Comic Relief and he's fronted the National Television Awards since 2021. Joel says he should step back and enjoy his success. 'I really love what I do, it's a real pleasure and a privilege. "Sometimes I don't allow myself to enjoy each job because I sort of move on to the next one. That's something I've learned from Davina, make sure you enjoy the moment and take it all in because what you're doing is quite special.'
