CORONATION Street star Simon Gregson has said he is using the I'm A Celebrity castle as a weight loss camp - complaining: "I'm very fat." The Steve McDonald actor, 47, said the meagre diet of rice and beans the campmates have to live on was a "bonus". Admitting he had been feasting on pies in the run-up to his appearance, he insisted: "I desperately need to lose weight."
