Gok has previously spoken about his weight, revealing that when he was younger he was “monstrous” and overweight.

He said on Loose Women in 2017: “My eating disorder started when I went to drama school.

The running is definitely working, looking really slim.

“I started dieting and controlled my food intake. I still have my food diary from that time.”

He added at the time: “I reduced my meals down to two teaspoons of honey every day.
