These celebrities have lost weight and are now living healthier lives – and we’re excited!
Catherine Tyldesley, Lost 112 Lbs
Former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley looked beautiful before; now she looks even more gorgeous after losing a lot of weight. When fans asked Catherine what pushed her to drop the excess weight, she pointed out several things, two of which are her lack of energy and breathlessness whenever she walked up a flight of stairs.
There were no tricks or secrets; the soap opera star educated herself about nutrition, or simply put, she switched to a healthy diet. It’s awe-inspiring how Catherine was able to transform from a size 22 to a size 8.
Peter Kay, Undisclosed
We’re not sure if the British “So You Think You’re Funny?” comedian Peter Kay considers his drastic weight loss bad for his image or good for his health, but one thing that’s for sure is that his weight was part of the reasons he was so noticeable in the past.
Comedians are scrutinized a bit differently from other celebrities regarding their weight. And even though the entertainment industry generally paints weight loss as a good thing, we hope that’s the case for Kay, who canceled his tour due to unforeseen family issues. He briefly returned mainstream in January 2021 to chat with Cat Deeley on BBC Radio 2.
Mark Labbett, Lost 138 Lbs
The popular star of “The Chase,” Mark Labbett, apparently could host a masterclass about weight loss in addition to being a skilled quizzer. He made a complete transformation by losing an incredible 138 pounds. Although he says he achieved this by doing small yet essential things, a big thumbs up has to go to his personal trainer—his golden retriever, Baloo.
Taking care of his dog put him on a routine of doing more physical activity because he regularly walked him around the field. He remained a prominent chaser in 2021 episodes of the “Beat The Chasers” gameshow.
Anne Hegerty, Lost 42 Lbs
Famous as The Governess on the ITV quiz show “The Chase,” Anne Hegerty has gained a lot more confidence with her outstanding 42 pounds weight loss. After spending just three weeks in the Australian camp of “I’m a Celebrity,” 14 pounds instantly vanished, and that was only the beginning.
We believe she could achieve this because of the healthy food she had access to on the show and the constant moving around, which is enough exercise in itself. Hegerty made two appearances in 2021 on the long-running reality TV show “Loose Women.”
James Corden, Lost 23 Lbs
Since late-night talk show host James Corden joined Weight Watchers program earlier this year, he has reportedly lost 23 lbs. James tried so many different diet plans in the past, and after much trial and error, he finally found one that works for him.
In a radio interview, James revealed that he figured out how to make it through a weight loss program successfully, and it’s all about changing his mindset. The TV personality went from “going on a diet” to changing the way he eats every day, and it looks like the transformation has worked wonders for him.
Austin “Chumlee” Russel – Lost 75 Lbs
The Pawn Stars actor, Austin Russell, a.k.a. Chumlee struggled with his weight and was over 300 pounds. He was also diagnosed as a pre-diabetic, so concerned as he was about his health, he decided to live a healthier lifestyle. He went on a healthy diet and regular exercise, and today, Chumlee has lost more than 75 pounds.
It is a bit ironic that he went through all that trouble to lose the weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle, only to get arrested for possession of a heck of a lot of stimulants, as well as firearms. What good is it to quit red meat, if he’s going to use crystal meth and cocaine? He got a deal with the D.A. which includes counseling, and we hope he uses the opportunity to get clean and get his life in order.
Josie Gibson, Lost 84 Lbs
We can’t deny how much we admire Josie Gibson’s body transformation after she plummeted from a size 20 to a size 8. Although this change didn’t happen at once, it all started in 2013 when she lost some weight. It didn’t last for long as during her pregnancy, she gained a few pounds again.
Unfortunately, the 36-year-old had to set another weight loss goal after discovering she was at risk of type 2 diabetes. The game-changer for Josie was healthy eating, 45 minutes workout thrice a week, drinking more water, and longer sleep hours.
Kevin Smith, Lost 50 Lbs
Kevin Smith made his debut with a comedy film titled Clerks, and ever since then, the TV personality has been dedicated to his craft and his loyal fans. Sadly in 2018, Smith suffered a heart attack because he was trying to lose weight and work simultaneously.
Laying aside some of the routines that seemed to take a toll on him, the comedian settled for a rather unlikely way to achieve his weight loss goal. Kevin consumed a vegan and low sugar diet and included Lipitor, which he used to curb bad cholesterol and inflammation.
Gregg Wallace, Lost 56 Lbs
MasterChef host Gregg Wallace had a wake-up call when his doctor said he was on his way to a heart attack. Add the fact that Gregg’s wife, who is 20 years younger, wouldn’t want to have an overweight husband. These gave the presenter enough reason to get into shape.
During the lockdown, the kitchen personality spent his days working out and filling up on healthy meals. Gregg admits he had slip-ups with his diet and exercise, but he isn’t bothered and just chooses to get back on track. After all, losing weight is a complicated process, and giving up is not part of it.
Lorraine Kelly, Lost 28 Lbs
Lorraine Kelly, a TV presenter and journalist, is one of those celebrities who avoid diets, and instead, integrate an active style of living. She started doing sports and kept herself energetic, combining it with eating healthy food. So, Lorraine never starved or struggled with weight loss diets.
As a result, in some time, Lorraine managed to lose 28lbs. She achieved this result by changing her mentality and listening to her own body. After reducing her portions and eliminating harmful foods, the star changed her eating habits, making her weight loss journey even more effective.
Charlotte Hawkins, Lost 42 Lbs
When Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins returned to television after giving birth, people noticed how quickly she had slimmed down. Of course, achieving a woman’s pre-pregnancy size is not an easy task, but it doesn’t seem that way for Hawkins, though. Just four months after welcoming her daughter, the TV anchor already shed off 42 lbs.
Her success was a product of yoga and switching back to a healthy diet. Hawkins admitted she ate many carbs while pregnant but quickly craved nutritious food once her pregnancy ended.
Phillip Schofield, Lost 42 Lbs.
Phillip Schofield is well known amongst fans as the TV presenter of This Morning. Over the years, Schofield struggled with belly fat, which he knew he had to lose after seeing himself looking chubbier than he thought in a family photo.
With his simple diet plan, the actor slimmed down and eventually reduced from over 168 pounds to almost 154 pounds. However, Schofield did not stop there and kept on losing weight out of stress as his appetite got smaller and he could not eat properly. The transformation was noticeable as he lost 42 pounds during the year.
Jennifer Ellison, Lost 42 Lbs
Looking at before and after photos of Brookside actress Jennifer Ellison’s weight loss journey is truly a wonder. So how did she do it? Jennifer has lost around 42 pounds since she started eating healthier and becoming more physically active.
A big part of Jennifer’s fitness success came from joining a fitness television program in 2017. She and other participants had to detox from processed food, liquor, sugar, and other unhealthy food items. The celebrity also continues a strict fitness regimen to stay in shape. She’s recently posted on social media how she amazingly went from size 18 to 10 in just three months.
Alison Hammond, Lost 28 Lbs
When Alison Hammond discovered her weight had reached 280 lbs, she made a vow to overhaul her lifestyle. Her dream weight is 168 lbs, but she admitted she’d be over the moon if she sheds at least 60 lbs. Hammond became a household name in Britain after joining the third series of Big Brother.
She’s best remembered for being the second housemate to be evicted from the house. Her weight loss journey began after she hired a trainer and regularly shared her workout routines online. The celebrity also made some dietary changes and even became an ambassador for Weight Watchers UK.
Angela Deem, Lost 100 Lbs
For fans of the reality series 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Angela Deem’s weight loss journey is a familiar topic. It was featured in the show how much the reality star wanted to shed some pounds. So naturally, many became curious about the status of her quest for a lighter body.
Deem kicked-start the weight loss process with gastric bypass surgery, which was successful, and fans witnessed her get slimmer before their eyes. Months after the first few pounds lost by the star, she has now lost a whopping 100 lbs. On top of her slimmer body, the famous “meemaw” reportedly also had some cosmetic surgery done.
Letitia Dean – 29 Lbs
English actress Letitia Dean had endured her fair share of fat-shaming over the tears. In fact, she once revealed that she was put down for her weight during her early days acting on the soap opera EastEnders. But she said enough was enough. Taking control of her weight, she eventually lost 29 pounds.
That’s a lot, especially on her petite five-foot-three frame! What’s more, her hard work showed as she flaunted her slim figure when she competed on Strictly Come Dancing. She even parlayed her success into creating her own fitness DVD. Still looking great, Dean continues to portray her EastEnders character, Sharon Watts, as of 2021.
Jorge Garcia
Once weighted above 400 pounds, ‘Lost’ star Jorge Garcia managed to drop down 100 LBS. His main motive was to become healthier and happier although his extra weight never really seemed to affect his success in acting. He was asked to drop some pounds during the production of lost which he did but gained them back in a short while. Then he came across the Nooch diet which doesn’t allow meat consumption and managed to lose 100 LBS.
Perhaps it was this positive change in his life that also led him to walk down the aisle with his girlfriend, the beautiful Rebecca Birdsall, in 2019. Although he’s been out of work since 2016, he’s set to appear in a MacGuyver episode in 2020.
Gemma Collins, Lost 56 Lbs
After being heartbroken in 2019, Gemma Collins decided to love herself more instead. This move resulted in her getting over 50 pounds off her weight, and the reality star couldn’t help but feel more confident showing off on social media.
Gemma managed to get in shape through a workout that included cardio and weight lifting. The former The Only Way Is Essex star also committed to a clean diet and avoided snacking. Gemma looks stunning now, and though she’s busy filming her series of Gemma Collins: Diva Forever & Ever, we hope she soon finds love again.
Suzanne Shaw, Lost 56 Lbs
We can all agree that gaining weight is not a pleasant experience for most people. After giving birth to her child, Suzanne Shaw put on so much weight that she was unrecognizable (almost) not just to the fans but also to herself. The former Hear’Say star told the audience that she burst into tears after looking the “biggest she’s ever been.”
Suzanne shared a gorgeous snap on social media with an emotional caption describing her awe-inspiring journey. The secret to her incredible weight loss was a complete lifestyle change. She did everything, from running, going alcohol-free to following a plant-based diet and meditation.
Jessie Wallace, Lost 42 Lbs
Whatever the “EastEnders” star Jessie Wallace is doing to keep herself at a size six after once being up to a size 14 has to be a secret worth writing a book about. After noticing that she wasn’t comfortable with her weight on “Strictly Come Dancing,” she decided to make some strict changes to her diet plan that has worked wonders.
Wallace was perhaps the perfect size when she was initially offered a food-loving chubby role in the stage drama “Stepping Out,” but she certainly can’t get such roles again. In 2021, Wallace continues to play her famous role as Kat in “EastEnders.”
Linda Robson – Lost 42 Lbs
The tremendous effect that Linda Robson achieved from her weight loss quest is highly commendable because the actress had to take on some challenging rules to achieve her desired result. One of those rules was the need for Linda to ditch wine to stay accountable.
During an interview, the TV panelist revealed that her motivation to lose weight was driven by a health scare tied to reckless eating. The journey started when a fellow panelist on Loose Women lured her into engaging in a sugar-free diet. Fast forward 18 months, and she lost 42 lbs.
Lorraine Stanley, Lost 14 Lbs
There are numerous weight-loss regimens available, and no single recipe will work for everyone. Lorraine Stanley found the best diet for her after trying several, and as a consequence, she lost 14 pounds in just six weeks. She was also fortunate to have a weight loss expert friend who assisted her.

John gave up drinking, eating sugary foods, rehashed his diet, and hired a personal fitness trainer to help him work out. He still adheres to a strict meal plan of lean meats, vegetables, fruits, and protein shakes. John also stays active by working out six days a week. Now that’s commitment!
Melissa McCarthy, Lost 75 Lbs
Melissa McCarthy has done memorable roles in Mike & Molly, Bridesmaids, Spy, and The Heat, but her constant filming didn’t make her overweight. In an interview, the actress revealed that she was not overly plump as a kid, but started gaining weight when she stopped taking care of her diet.
After McCarthy’s brilliant performance as Sookie St. James in Gilmore Girls, she took a break from acting and started a physician-supervised all-liquid diet. This regime helped her lose an astonishing 75 lbs in four months! McCarthy decided to pay it forward by making her diet plan public and urging other people to follow suit.
Pauline Quirke, Lost 42 Lbs.
Pauline Quirke is a British actress who rose to fame in the 90s with the comedy series Birds of a Feather. She suffered from weight gain and increased dress size from 12 to 28 in a few years, but eventually, she fixed the problem by dropping some numbers on the scale.
Pauline started her fitness regime in 2018, and from her latest results, it seems that the routine she has been following is paying off. The Broadchurch star has lost almost 42 pounds after ditching sugar, and she has become slimmer and healthier than before.

Although the singing sensation has always looked fantastic, no matter how much she weighed, Mariah now feels at ease in her skin.
