Shaun Ryder has spoken out about his weight loss, confirming he has lost two stone after taking the diet drug Ozempic.
The “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here” star opened up about his experience of taking the controversial drug, alongside outlining the health problems he suffers from. The Happy Mondays rocker said taking part in the reality show and living in the harsh conditions of the jungle wasn’t easy given his list of ailments. He became the first celebrity to leave the jungle after suffering from health issues.
Shaun Ryder has revealed that he lost two stones thanks to the controversial diet drug Ozempic. The 60-year-old singer has revealed that he’s managed to shed a significant amount of weight in recent years after he turned to the diet drug. Ryder said: “People have noticed I don’t have any f****** eyebrows and eyelashes, from my alopecia. Basically, you know, the jungle slapped me right across the face and said calm down mate.”
Ryder added: “My thyroid is underactive, so it doesn’t matter if you just eat lettuce you’ll still be f***** fat but since I did the jungle I’ve lost a load of weight. I think I was 16 stone and now I’m down to 14 because of them jabs you stick in your belly, that they say the Kardashians are on? Ozempic. I’ve been on them and I’ve lost two stone.”
Ozempic is an appetite-suppressing jab that’s rumored to be hugely popular in Hollywood circles at the moment.
However, besides its primary purpose of inducing weight loss, Ozempic can also be prescribed by a doctor to help patients who are struggling with obesity because of diabetes and thyroid conditions. Shaun acknowledges that some celebrities who have turned to Ozempic might have “a lot of body issues going on”.
However, for the Happy Mondays star, it’s proven to be a life-changer. He shared: “For me it’s great; I actually get a bit of energy from it so now we’re back to cycling.”
