What happened on Loose Women today?

Today’s edition of Loose Women saw quizzer Mark make an appearance on the show.

The Chaser was on the show to talk about his new book – Can You Beat The Beast?

However, Gloria switched the conversation to Mark’s appearance.

57-year-old Mark has dropped 10 stone in recent years and is looking noticeably slimmer.

Gloria pointed this out, saying: “I tell you what though, you are much thinner, you had a bit of a belly last time you were here.”

Others may have taken Gloria’s comment the wrong way, however, Mark just laughed (as did the audience).

“Hey, you know the rule, your good friends can be as rude to you as they like,” Mark said.

Mark then went on to reveal that he is now under 21 stone. At his heaviest, Mark was weighing 29 stone.
