Big Brother's Jordan Sangha strips down to his underwear and says 'he's put on so much weight since Big Brother but is getting more confident' a month after split from Henry Southan
The reality star, 27, and ex Henry, 26, formed a surprise romance after meeting on the ITV show in 2023.
However, after 16 months together, they announced the 'incredibly sad' news that they'd decided to go their separate ways.
As Jordan navigates life after the break up, he took to Instagram on Tuesday with a shirtless mirror selfie in his bathroom.
Alongside the post he penned: 'Body positivity-mode: I put on so much weight since being on BB. I am now getting back to a body I am more confident about having.
'Might even go to a gym (although the thought terrifies me). Or for a run...'

The post comes just a day after Jordan posted a selfie in bed looking tearful, where he opened up about the difficulties of having relationships in the public eyes.
He wrote: 'This is the most honest post I will ever do. Having a relationship in the public eye is sh*te.
'My protective nature will never let people know the ins and outs. But the relationship is done and I now want to focus on my own life.
'And I'm excited to do such: comedy, history, classical music, and meal deals. Love you all.'
Earlier this month, Henry addressed their split in a Threads message on Instagram while he thanked his fans for their 'kindness'.
He said: 'Just a gentle reminder that breakups are deeply personal, and often far more complex than people on the outside can see.
'I've seen a lot of speculation flying around, and while I understand the curiosity, I want to be really clear - I've chosen to keep the details private out of respect for everyone involved.
'What I will say is: I've been incredibly hurt, and I'm doing my best to navigate this with grace. Thanks you those who've shown kindness - it means more than you know x.'
Meanwhile, Henry addressed their split in a Threads message on Instagram while he thanked his fans for their 'kindness'
Last month, Jordan and Henry revealed they've gone their separate ways in an Instagram post.
Henry wrote: 'After a lot of thought, Jordan and I have decided to go our separate ways.
'It's incredibly sad, and we're both hurting, but we know it's the right step.
'We're so grateful for the love and support you've shown us - thank you. Please give us some space as we figure things out privately.'
Jordan went onto share news of the break-up in his own post, writing: 'After many happy times, memories and precious experiences, Henry and I have parted ways.
'I want to thank everyone who has supported us. We will always remain close friends. Cheers.'
Just nine days before announcing their split, Jordan and Henry's romance seemed to be stronger than ever, as they made a joint appearance on Celebrity Big Brother: Late and Live, where they recreated their steamy hot tub smooch.
However, they had announced earlier that month that their joint podcast, Club Sandwich, would be going on a hiatus for the current series of Celebrity Big Brother, simply saying at the time they were working on an 'exciting new series.'
Jordan left viewers gripped when their close friendship blossomed into romance on ITV's first series of BB in 2023, and just a week after the series ended, they made their relationship official.
While they began as close pals, things took a turn when Henry admitted he was developing feelings for Jordan, despite the latter's confession he had his own confusing connection with housemate Matty.
Back in March last year, Jordan and Henry shared how they were 'taken aback' to see the 'endearing' reactions from fans of their romance on social media.
The pair had kept fans well-updated with their romance on social media, and the former lawyer, despite earning an army of fans for his sarcastic sense of humour, is no stranger to sharing romantic poems about his boyfriend.
After celebrating Jordan's Big Brother victory at a boozy wrap party, the pair revealed that it took just three days for them to reunite after leaving the house.
Jordan said: 'It was a strange one for me, but when I first got your number I was a bit taken aback that this person actually exists in the real world.'
Henry added: 'It was weird leaving each other at that breakfast. I'm telling you. OK, ''I'm going now''.
'I think I went home for maybe like three nights, and then I came straight to yours.'
Referring to their first selfie together, Jordan quipped: 'That's where the first picture was taken... We slept probably somewhere we should not have slept - I won't go into further detail. It was very romantic!'
Jordan then stunned fans by sharing an Instagram post in the early hours revealing that he and Henry made their romance official, writing: 'The bf term might now be applicable, and I cannot stop smiling.'
Henry revealed: 'So that was really interesting. We'd kind of talked about sort of the next steps in our relationship, like progressing it to being boyfriends, we'd spoken about it unofficially.
'And then I go to sleep one night, 1am, Jordan posts ''I think we can call each other boyfriends now''. I find out when I wake up, Capital FM turns on. It's like: ''Big Brother fans. Henry and Jordan are officially boyfriends!'' I went ''are we?''
Jordan joked: 'I said BF and I thought BF could be ambiguous! Could be best friends! I did intend for boyfriend - I was missing you!'
The duo sent fans into a frenzy back in November with how they debuted their short-lived podcast, Club Sandwich.
Taking to Instagram to share a surprise new clip, Jordan and Henry sent fans wild by hinting that they had got engaged, a little over a year to the day since they departed the BB house.
However, all was not as it seems, as the tongue-in-cheek post was actually announcing their Club Sandwich podcast.
The clip showed a loved-up Henry and Jordan enjoying a romantic stroll together, before the food writer suddenly got down on one knee.
However, instead of presenting him with a ring, Henry offered his boyfriend a sandwich instead, before announcing that the launch of their new podcast was just hours away.
Sharing the clip on both of their accounts, the post was captioned: 'We said yes!'
'…but not to what you think!' We're thrilled to announce @ClubSandwichpod, our brand-new podcast that's (kind of) about sandwiches, but really about so much more. Join us every Wednesday as we serve up laughs, stories, and dish out the goss!'
While many fans were quick to share their delight at the podcast's announcement, others confessed that they were initially excited by news of an engagement.
Jordan and Henry are also the second Big Brother romance to come to a sad end this year, with MailOnline revealing back in February that 2024 stars Nathan King and Rosie Williams had split after a whirlwind three-month romance.

Bridgwater artist creates 'accessible' exhibition about nature
An artist said he has set up an exhibition about nature in a shopping centre to make it accessible for Slate, an artist and fashion designer from Bridgwater, has opened the immersive installation A Memory of Nature at the Angel Place shopping centre in the exhibition, which is is free to attend and open until 2 August, features hanging textiles, sounds and images that represent a memory of nature, after climate change."I didn't want to cause more climate depression I wanted it to still feel very beautiful and hopeful. It feels very peaceful - I've had people ask if they can bring a book back and sit there for an hour," Mr Slate said. Mr Slate said he had the idea of an installation where people can discuss a future without nature."Eventually I came up with a lot of hanging textiles that have been painted with shadows of nature," he added."When I hang my washing out, the trees shadow on my sheets. It's really inspired by that, there are shadows of trees and birds." Mr Slate added that when Seed Sedgemoor, a collective of local organisations, came to him about the exhibition being in a shopping centre, he was apprehensive."A lot of times it can cheapen your work," he explained."But I didn't have to dumb down the work. We want real work and we want people to either get it or not."They have to see it's available to normal people too."The exhibition is also being supported by the Arts CouncilLaura Hylton from Seed Sedgemoor added: "To Seed it is just really important to work with communities and speak to them about what they want and bring them things for free that people wouldn't have seen before."

Kelly Osbourne breaks her silence following her father Ozzy's funeral as she shares bold floral tribute for Black Sabbath singer
Kelly Osbourne has broken her silence following her father Ozzy's funeral, as she shared a bold floral tribute to social media on Friday. The Black Sabbath rocker died aged 76 on July 22 and was laid to rest in a private funeral at his Buckinghamshire home on Thursday. Following the emotional day, Kelly shared a picture of a floral tribute to Instagram which read 'Ozzy f***ing Osbourne' Kelly spoke about how well Ozzy was doing in a poignant last interview just two weeks before he died. Just two days before she got engaged to Sid Wilson at Ozzy's final performance with his band in Villa Park, Birmingham, Kelly said her father was feeling 'amazing'. Kelly, 40, said: 'My dad is amazing! He's so excited for his final show on Saturday. There is all the nerves and all the excitement. 'He's sailing through everything, and the rehearsals have been incredible. It's all about him. It's going to be a very emotional moment.' Before getting engaged in front of her father's eyes, Kelly also shared details of her nuptials, with plans to wed across seas to ensure an intimate affair - words that are bittersweet now Ozzy won't be there to walk her down the aisle. She said: 'We were thinking about having a destination wedding because that way only the people who really like you will come. So that is where we are going right now.' Kelly revealed that her famed mother Sharon will be planning her entire wedding as she confessed she 'wants nothing to do with it'. She said: 'I want nothing to do with it, because if it was up to me, we'd get married at the registry office and then take over a pub. 'But it is not up to me, so I'm letting my mum plan it.' Kelly wore Ozzy's trademark purple glasses in a heartbreaking nod to her beloved father at his funeral procession on Wednesday. The heavy metal icon was commemorated in a parade through the city centre - with friends and family including his wife Sharon attending and getting out of the cortege at Black Sabbath Bridge. Ozzy had made known Kelly is his 'favourite child' in the past , previously telling Rolling Stone they were 'like two peas in a pod' as he gushed over their bond. Mother-of-one Kelly covered her tears with the glasses which were a familiar look for Ozzy. She and siblings Jack and Aimee laid floral tributes at the site while supporting Sharon - and they also shared peace signs showing gratitude to the crowds, while accompanied by Ozzy's son Louis from his first marriage to Thelma Riley. And Jack and Kelly were seen sharing an emotional embrace at the Black Sabbath Bridge site that has been wreathed in floral tributes over the past week. Father-of-five Ozzy previously proudly shared how singer, actress and fashion designer Kelly was his most cherished child, telling an interviewer: 'If I've got a favourite kid, it's Kelly.' When asked by Rolling Stone, 'Are Jack and Aimee aware of that?', he replied: 'Oh, they know it! Me and Kelly, we're like two peas in a pod!' The father-daughter duo rereleased a revised version of the song in 2003 which reached number one on the UK singles chart - in it they reflected on their life together.

Ancient ruins of Peel Castle to show Shakespeare 'as intended'
A touring theatre director has said performing in the open-air in the ruins of an ancient castle allows audiences to experience Shakespeare as it was "originally intended".A cast of six is set to bring one of the playwright's best known comedies to life in the grounds of Peel Castle and Rushen Abbey this performances of Much Ado About Nothing form part of a 60-castle tour of Europe by the company, which started in Paul Stebbings said despite being well experienced in staging shows in historical ruins, the wildlife at Peel Castle had previously posed a challenge because "seagulls have no respect for Shakespeare". He said one of the seabirds attempted to upstage the actors in a key scene during a previous production of Romeo and Juliet at the site, which was built between the 11th and 14th centuries."I had to chase one off the stage that actually was determined to sit on the balcony," he said venues on the tour ranged from ruins to stately homes and the logistics of performing in castles were sometimes "pretty tricky" because ultimately castles were "designed not to get into".Stebbings has strong links to the island through both family connections and his involvement in several previous include writing and directing the Ghost of Illiam Dhone, portraying the life and times of Manx martyr William Christian, in conjunction with the Manx Heritage Foundation a decade ago. His latest Shakespearian endeavour, being staged in conjunction with Manx National Heritage, is set in Messina and revolves around a plot to make two friends fall in said using Peel Castle as the setting allowed the cast to get closer to the audience, in turn allowing those watching to see the play as the writer had "designed"."The actors get up close so the audience see the whites of their eyes, which I think is important," he said."These play were not designed to have clunky big scene changes," he production by TNT and the American Theatre Group is set to get underway in the grounds of Peel Castle at 18:00 BST, with a repeat performance a Rushen Abbey at 14:00 on Sunday.
