'America's Next Top Model' Judge and Heartthrob Nigel Barker Celebrates 52 with Sexy Gym Snap

We might not have seen him on our TV screens in some time (unless you've been binging "America's Next Top Model" lately), but photographer and former reality star judge Nigel Barker is making our social media feeds a bit spicier.

The "ANTM" judge shared a shirtless photo of himself working out earlier this week. On X (formerly Twitter), he simply captioned the snap, "52 and hitting the gym harder than ever xx." But over on Instagram, Barker wrote a lengthier post, opening up about his fitness journey.

"So 4 months ago I changed my diet completely. I'm 52 now and thought it important to do a thorough check up and reboot if and where necessary," he wrote, adding that he spoke with an "expert nutritionalist and biomedicine expert." After taking some tests, he said he learned "my 15 years of being a pescatarian had not been great for me. That is not to say it might not be perfect for someone else but I needed more animal protein. From analyzing my test results he recommended I embark on a carnivorous diet immediately, stop eating fish (I had mercury poisoning) and stop gluten for 1 year and dairy for 6 months."

After adjusting his diet for the last four months, Barker said he feels "great, [and] I've lost 20lbs, my sleep is much better, I've gone from 5 hours to 7."
