Kris Smith has revealed one of the main reason’s he decided to enter the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here camp – and it’s got nothing to do with fame or fortune.

The 38-year-old model confessed to The Daily Telegraph that he’s looking forward to shedding a few kilos while he films the reality show in the South African jungle.

The cast are fed a basic diet of rice and beans, which Kris – who is currently 99 kilos – is hoping will help the weight to ‘fall off in no time’. 

Describing himself as a ‘little fatty boomba’ when he was younger, Dannii Minogue’s former flame says he hopes to inspire others with his current healthy approach to life.

‘I want to help people who get stuck in a rut or don’t know what they’re doing or don’t have any idea where to start,’ the aspiring personal trainer said.

He wants his participation in the show to give viewers a better look at his personality and to ideally motivate them to approach their own health in a positive way. 

‘I’ve been there myself, so obviously the more people I can help with that the better I will feel,’ he explained.
