‘Stage-five clinger’ Jamie Doran reveals the secrets behind his buff frame and how he lost 5kg before filming Bachelor in Paradise
He’s the former firefighter who was quickly branded a ‘stage-five clinger’ during Angie Kent’s season of The Bachelorette last year.
And as he returns for spin-off Bachelor in Paradise, Jamie Doran revealed to Body+Soul this week how he dropped 5kg before filming commenced in November.
The 40-year-old said he got down to 85kg by reducing portion sizes, eliminating alcohol completely and exercising daily.

Jamie’s diet often consists of muesli or oats with a banana for breakfast, sushi or a grilled chicken wrap for lunch, and steak or salmon with vegetables for dinner.
Snacks include fruit and nuts, and while he cut out alcohol entirely before filming, he does allow himself to indulge in either sorbet or ice cream once a week.
The star went on to reveal his dedicated fitness regimen in the lead-up to the show.
‘I walked 10-plus kilometres a day and weight trained six days a week,’ he said.

Jamie has found himself in hot water on Bachelor in Paradise so far this season, after expressing romantic interest in five different women.
Before the first Rose Ceremony, he’d promised a rose not only to Abbie Chatfield and Brittney Weldon, but also Cassandra Mamone, Helena Sauzier and Mary Viturino.
He eventually gave his rose to Brittney, therefore eliminating Abbie from the show.

Jamie – who was known for his bizarre and possessive behaviour on The Bachelorette last year – was so distraught at the thought of being ‘abandoned’ by Timm Hanly that he packed his bags and threatened to quit too on Wednesday.
Jamie then pleaded with Timm not to leave, telling the shaggy-haired larrikin he ‘doesn’t know how much he means’ to him during a tense bedroom showdown.
Timm was eventually convinced to stay by his current flame Brittany Hockley.
