Matt Lucas shed the pounds with the help of his flatmate and personal trainer after the effects of lockdown increased his size.
Matt Lucas is best known for his comedy characters in the BBC sketch show Little Britain but has gone onto become a highly favoured television presenter, currently taking on The Great British Bake Off alongside Noel Fielding. Several of his characters on Little Britain mocked overweight people as he tapped into his own size in order to pull a few laughs. One of Matt's most notorious characters was a woman who ran a weight class and would berate others for their bodies.
In recent years, the comedian has undergone an incredible transformation that saw him shift the pounds, revealing a new, leaner look. Noting the effects of lockdown caused him to add weight, he decided it was time to tackle the issue directly. During an appearance on ITV's Lorraine last year, the star explained his motivation for getting fit.
