James Haskell, a former rugby union player, split from Chloe Madeley, his wife of five years, in 2024, but it appears he has been putting some effort into his assassination 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 naked except for a necklace and a small amount of white towel, which he draped over his crotch to make the picture essentially SFW. He smiled into the camera while keeping the caption for the photo, which he had strategically placed the towel at his front.
He also enjoyed watching rugby and DJing at an event in his previous stories. Over time, James’ weight has fluctuated. From his muscular rugby days to his leaner physique after leaving the I’m A Celebrity jungle to his toned-down body today.
The sports star, who has recently transitioned to tech-house DJ, has openly discussed how his body has changed. He announced he was retiring in 2019 after spending the majority of his time with the London Wasps and before leaving his rugby career behind.
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 with dignity we’re wasting away! We’re literally scraping the barrel of discovering different ways to cook rice and beans and try to add some flavor, he said, referring to the campmates’ attempts to spice up their meals.
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’ve turned the other way,” I said. I’ve dropped from 122 kg to 113 kg at 8 weeks old.
He continued, adding that he had been receiving training remotely from a PT, and that the goal was to gradually gain muscle over the coming week. It’s been really enjoyable to have a goal that sticks. You are given purpose, routine, and discipline. Everything we as humans strive for.
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.
When a marriage ends, it’s all about the kids, which we all forget. We are amazing co-parents, Chloe and I. Bodhi is always our top priority.
