EASTENDERS fans were left stunned by Shane Richie’s lockdown transformation on This Morning today as he showed off his “man cave”.
Speaking from inside his office, Shane admitted to “piling on the pounds” in lockdown – after losing a stone on I’m A Celebrity.
And like everyone who is missing their hairdressers, Shane showed off his long locks.
Shane said: “I lost a stone on I’m A Celeb but then we went into lockdown and now the weight is creeping back on.”
The actor is set to return as Hugo/Loco Chanelle in hit Everybody’s Talking About Jamie when it goes on tour.
And now Shane wants to make sure he’s body confident to play drag again as Chanelle and wear a size 12 dress with heels.
He added: “Now we have the green light for the show I am starting to do a bit more training. A bit of boxing.
“I need to get back into a size 12 dress.”
One fan said: “Wow! I nearly didn’t recognise him!”
Another added: “OMG! Shane Richie’s mancave! All that movie memorabilia! Get me in there.”
The 57-year-old lost 14lbs when he starred on I’m A Celebrity in December.
His proud wife Christie, 41 said the weight loss had transfomed him – and put a “twinkle” back in his eye.
Despite his changed appearance, This Morning host Alison Hammond was more distracted by his so-called “man cave” where he was being interviewed from.
Filled with memorabilia and covered in TV and film decoration, it looked more like a museum than a study.
“This is basically my office,” said Shane.
“My ceiling is decorated with old movie posters and I’ve got toys in here that I’ve collected over the years.”
Shane laughed: “It drives my family mental but they’re not allowed in here anyway.”
