Last year Shaun opened up about his fitness journey on The Chasers Road Trip: Trains, Brains and Automobiles.
He explained that his father died from motor neurone disease in 2014 and his mum battled dementia.
At the time, Shaun did his gruelling workout on the programme.
He explained to the cameras: “Every morning when I wake up I do 2,000 sit ups because my mum suffers from dementia.
“My dad sadly died from motor neurone disease and it really saddened me to see them physically degenerate.”
Shaun added: “Whilst I know I can’t delay the inevitable I know I can postpone it by keeping myself physically and mentally sharp.”
Meanwhile, Shaun previously spoke about losing his father.
He explained to the Express in 2018 that he rushed to the hospice where his dad was being looked after when he was told he was dying.
Shaun said: “I said my piece, I kissed him and I said my goodbyes.
“So on Father’s Day I lay flowers, say a few words and remember the things he has done for me.”
