The Bachelorette’s resident magician, Apollo, made half his bodyweight disappear before he went into the mansion.
Upon meeting Apollo Jackson, Sophie Monk said she couldn’t believe he was a real magician because he’s not a ‘nerd burger.’ However, the 24-year-old revealed that he hasn’t always been so confident in his appearance.
Apollo admits he went through a period of depression, during which his weight reached 150kgs. A heart attack was the serious wake up call he needed, motivating him to turn his life around.
To be honest, this kind of makes us like him even more because you know he’s not just a pretty boy. Oh, and Apollo is just a stage name, his real name is Jake Spence.
