Lucy Mecklenburgh has posted pictures of her “poor little body” following a two stone weight loss after taking part in Bear GryllsCelebrity Island.

The former TOWIE star, 26, showed off her dramatic transformation on Instagram, proving the celebs really don’t get fed secret snacks.

Mecklenburgh, who met her boyfriend Ryan Thomas on the show, posted a picture of herself in a black bikini before heading to the island of Las Perlas, Panama, and another after wrapping up filming.

She captioned the shots: “My poor little body!!!! Soooooo emotional watching the last ep of #celebrityisland .. I can't believe we did it.. I can't believe I did it what an experience!

“I will never doubt myself ever again!! Met some incredible people that will be friends for life. So proud of us all!!”

Reassuring fans, she added: “PS It only took me 3 weeks to put all my weight back on! I ate ALOT HAHAHHA!!!!”

Mecklenburgh’s photos come a year after Made in Chelsea regular Ollie Locke published a topless shot after starring on the Channel 4 show.

Locke, who plummeted to just under nine stone, told Lorraine Kelly: “We really didn’t eat for a lot of it. The dehydration is so severe too.”

The current series left viewers outraged when a baby caiman was killed by the contestants, who then gutted it and cooked the meat for food.

Viewers were unimpressed with the scenes, and accused producers of ‘planting’ and ‘drugging’ the caiman.
