Boyzlife's Keith Duffy sheds 15kg in bid to change his mental health and depression

Boyband singer Keith Duffy has shed 15kg to take his weight down to 88kg in a bid to get his "mojo back".

The actor and singer shed the pounds across three months as part of a health and fitness regime that saw him make lifestyle changes after he was left feeling "depressed, self conscious and down".

Across the 12 weeks he slimmed down from 103kg to 88kg but says the biggest benefits have been to his mental health and happiness.

The singer, who has also appeared on Coronation Street, is best known for his time in Boyzone and now appears as part of boyband Boyzlife alongside former Westlife star Brian McFadden.
