LIFE as a model and former Miss Universe is normally about dropping weight for the catwalk, but Tegan Martin is delighted to have put on four kilos — even if it cost her a day in hospital.

The I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here star was forced to admit herself to hospital after she flew into Sydney from the jungle with serious abdominal pains after “eating everything in sight”.

“Within a few days I’d eaten the house down and I actually made myself quite sick,” she told Confidential ahead of her appearance at the races this Saturday.

“The hospital said you’ve eaten too much, your bodies not used to the saturated fats. I’d had no dairy, no sugar, so to go back to eating all the things I was bingeing on was not a good idea.”

Thanks to a diet of Pringles, hot chips, chocolate and rib eye steak in the days after she got out, Martin has gained back the four kilos she lost.

“But I wanted to,” she said. “I’d lost four kilos more than I wanted to lose, I was fit, healthy and bikini ready when I went in so to lose four kilos on top of that was pretty intense.”

As for some tips for the races, the 24-year-old says she’ll be placing a bet on her Dad’s hot tip Happy Clapper for a win in the Doncaster.
