When asked how he’s done it, Mark said: “Well, not by a gastric band. I’m not quite sure how, I actually measured myself at the gym on Sunday night and it was a shade under 124 kilos which is 19-and-a-half stone.

“At my heaviest in 2003 when I was a teacher, I was 185 kilos which is a shade over 29 stone.

“There was a couple of conscious things. During the pandemic, looking after my little boy. I think I was lucky, one of the bouts of Covid and my appetite went away and never really came back.”

Hayley then added that they’ve been going to the gym together too.

Fans gushed over Mark’s weight loss on X. One person wrote after his appearance on GMB: “You look amazing well done for weight loss.”
