He continued, sharing how multiple chairs gave way beneath him, highlighting the need for change: "So, I thought I'd sit on that chair, and that smashed as well and I thought: 'This has to come to an end because I'm smashing chairs left right and centre."

In his own candid words: "A year ago, I was 23 stone.
I've lost seven stone in the last year," reports Wales Online . He shared his strategies for success with the podcast: "So I had to kind of give up the bread and the burgers and the cheese. I love cheese.
I could eat a cheese sandwich while I'm cooking." Walking more, cutting back on calories, and moderating his drinking were.
