My 3000lb Family star who bathed in outdoor trough hits out at show following 41st weight loss

A man who lost 41 stone says he’s never been able to update the world on his success.

Casey King dropped half his bodyweight after appearing on TLC reality show My 3000-Lb Family.

The series follows the fat-loss journey of families who attempt to make drastic changes to their life.

In the case of King, his weight had become such a problem that he was forced to bathe in a trough in his garden, having become too big to use the conventional tub or shower.

“Because I’m a bigger guy with, like, folds and flaps, I have to move around almost like a pig in a way, wallow, and roll over to get the back of my legs,” he explained.

“I have to lift up literal pieces of skin. It’s just a seriously difficult process.”

The TV star also revealed that his immense weight meant he struggled to find clothes that fit him, so would often sit around naked playing video games.

Thankfully, after appearing on the show, King has managed to completely overhaul his life and has lost a whopping 262kg (41.3st/579lbs), which is incredible.

To get in shape, he underwent an operation that saw part of his stomach removed as well as sticking to a new diet and exercise regime.

However, King has since called out TLC for 'never once' contacting him after managing to lose the weight.

Alongside a screenshot of an article about 1000-Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton's weight gain prior to entering rehab last year, King wrote in his caption: "I make this post because @tlc while changing my life forever has never once contacted me for any type of update but has continued to promote the lives of people that choose not to accept the help they so desperately need."

He added: "TLC is a network that makes its bag on clicks and views

"I just have always questioned why none of us ever had a chance to update the world on our success but they've continued to promote and push failures

"I wish [Tammy Slaton] nothing but the best

"I hope things change for her and she's able to take control of the addiction ruining her life

"(Okay maybe there's some slight jealousy)."

He also went on to thank TLC for changing his life and giving him a 'second chance to live'.

LADbible has contacted TLC for comment.
