With rumours circulating that he could be one of acts set to appear on this year’s Celebrity X Factor, former star of the show Stevi Ritchie also has another reason to celebrate.
He’s revealed that he’s feeling like “a million dollars” after losing a whopping 20kg in just two months.
Sharing a before and after shot to Twitter, he told followers that his pictures hadn’t been edited and he’d lost the weight with the help of a personal trainer.
So July I was 98.kgs and felt uncomfortable and always struggled with my weight. But after a 8 week gruelling but rewarding cut with #tommyoxfordfitness I’m in the best shape of my life today at 78kgs and I’m so proud of myself non photoshopped too xx pic.twitter.com/yVVAAH359c
