Mark Labbett has revealed he's lost a huge 10 stone since he was at his heaviest weight of 29 stone and puts it down to his two meal-a-day regime as well as daily walks.

According to The Sun, Mark - who appears on ITV's The Chase as one of the mastermind Chasers - now weighs in at 19 stone meaning he can fit into... not just any old trousers but 'off-the-peg M&S chinos'.

Mark reached his heaviest in 2003 when he tipped the scales at 29 stone and now he's revealed that he's the lightest he's been in 25 years. That's some good going.

He told The Sun: "I'm now under 20 stone, and I am really feeling the difference, as well as seeing it.

"I'm now down to a 44-inch waist, my chest is 54 inches, while my neck measurements are down to 19 inches, which is fantastic for me and the top end of a normal man's range.

"My knees really feel the difference. I will never be athletic again but I just move so much better for not carrying that extra weight."

Speaking about his M&S excitement, he added: "As soon as the shops open again, I'm due to do a mega-shop of all the big high street stores because I can now wear Marks & Spencer's trousers and chinos in an XL.

"It's the first time I've been able to buy off-the-peg in as long as I can remember."

The self-confessed sweet and chocolate lover, who stands at 6ft 6in, revealed in 2017 that he had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and started to cut back on his sugar intake.

He said: "Sugar has always been my sin, and it's why I never contemplated a gastric band. But sumo wrestlers die 20 years younger than the rest of the population, and I could do the maths, I knew I had to make a change.

"I always try to have a decent breakfast, a cooked breakfast, because it's actually quite good for you, and maybe just a muffin or two for lunch if I'm filming.

"I'm often just too exhausted in the evening to eat, and just go to bed without. It works for me."

Wish it worked for me.
