“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.

He added: “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.”

How did fans react?

Mark took to both Instagram and Twitter to share the news.

He said on Twitter after watching a repeat of The Chase: “Looking at that show from four years, boy have I lost some weight off my chin.”

After showing off slimmer versions of himself, his fans queued up to praise the weight loss.

Another wrote: “You look amazing, great weight loss!”

A third commented: “Wow, you look great. And some good weight loss there too.”
