Let's work backwards.
On Wednesday's episode, some of the contestants revealed some pretty dark secrets about their past. A few spoke about failed marriages while others discussed the burden years of fat shaming has had on their mental health.
Justin also took a moment to share his truth.
Brace yourself, things are about to get deep. Really deep.
"Everyone on Instagram is like, 'oh my god it's Justin Lacko'," he said, as Gogglebox's Yvie Jones nodded while trying to contain her laughter. "And then like some people go ‘Oh my gosh it’s the back of Justin Lacko’s head’ because people tag me in it and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh I got a bunch of tags’ and then I share it because I’m like, it’s so cute, but then you go through and you’re like oh my god so many people are actually so excited to see me."
Afterwards, he threw the worlds biggest pity party telling everyone that being an Australian icon is actually super draining.
"I say to my friends: ‘I have anxiety, I feel like something’s wrong with me, I feel like people find me boring – they go 'oh he’s a model I don’t want to talk to him.'"
It must be difficult being so hot you're virtually unapproachable.
But it didn't stop there! Just when we all thought he couldn't be more out of touch with reality, he proved us wrong.
"But then I look at me and go f**k I don’t even recognise me I look so good. Like just so sharp.”
First world problems, am I right?

Although people apparently stop him "left-right and centre" for a photo, Justin is adamant that deep down, he's just your average Aussie... until he sees his reflection in the mirror.
“I’m just a normal guy," he said as the rest of Australia laughed.
"But when I get all dressed up, I’m not going to be cocky but I will, I look amazing."
Of course, we can't forget Justin's very first words when he entered the show.
"Most of Australia would know me for being really, ridiculously, extremely good looking."
Aside from providing us with some quality entertainment, we can all agree old mate Lacko has taught us one very important lesson: Arrogance is not cute.
Best of luck to you, Justin. You seem to be an unstoppable force in the jungle. Fingers crossed lions can't smell hair gel.
