Ex-Bachelor Thomas Malucelli flaunts his incredible body transformation

The Bachelors star Thomas Malucelli has unveiled his incredible five-year body transformation. 

The reality star, 36, took to Instagram on Tuesday with a photo of himself looking lean and ripped at 92kg, after putting on a whopping 14kg of pure muscle since the beginning of his fitness journey. 

Thomas also uploaded some images taken before his transformation, alongside a heartfelt caption about the moment he realised he needed to change his lifestyle. 

‘Back in 2017 I was burnt out, living on coffee for energy, had terrible habits and wasn’t proud of my body,’ he began.   

‘I remember not wanting to go to the beach cause I was embarrassed to take my T-shirt off. ‘My energy was always low and felt like a zombie most of my days (you wouldn’t have recognised me back then!!),’ he added.

Thomas decided to take action, and signed up to a 16-week body transformation program. 

‘[I went] from being exhausted to empowered. From mediocre to impactful,’ he enthused. 

‘When it comes to getting and maintaining great health results I’ve learnt that it’s all about being disciplined and consistent in sticking with the basics.’

Thomas said he managed to gain a significant amount of muscle, increasing his weight from 78k to 92kg. The hunk’s efforts at the gym have paid off not only in his looks but financially, after he won $90,000 in prize money in 2019 after winning a 16-week body transformation Champion contest

He was also a finalist in the same competition in 2018, and won $3,000 for his efforts

The transformation story comes after Thomas sparked romance rumours with Bella Johnson after splitting with Leah Cummings from the show.

Thomas went on to become one of The Bachelors on Ten in 2022 

In February, Bella posted a photo of Thomas to her Instagram story with the caption: ‘Italian baby’, followed by a rose emoji.

While Bella was vying for Bachelor Jed McIntosh’s affection on the show, it appears she is now spending considerable time with Thomas.

The 10th series of the Australian series saw three Bachelors take part in the series, a first for the entire franchise.

The show, however, failed to get a steady audience and rated poorly for Ten. 

Thomas proposed to contestant Leah Cummings (right) on the show, they split two months later and now he has been connected to Bella Johnston
