Just last week Jericho Malabonga was crowned the winner of Australian Survivor 2017 and Tara Pitt the runner-up.

The duo, along with the other 22 contestants, saw dramatic changes in their bodies as they survived on rice, beans and coconuts on a remote Samoan island for 55 days. Their diets were extremely restricted bar only for some occasional reward challenges of KFC and pizza.

Yesterday, Jericho posted a shocking photo of his dramatic weight loss to his Instagram page (see below). His caption read: “Before and after survivor #nofilter Fitness peeps help me get back into shape! TAG A PT!! #55days #transformation #survivorisreal #sunblackskin #hairgrew #healthylifestyle to #fooddeprived #gym to #nogym”

Jericho told TV WEEK he lost 7kg all up while filming Survivor. “The show deteriorates your body,” he said about the experience.
