Diversity star Jordan Banjo confessed he felt like a 'fraud' when he was dancing with the crew at 23 stone.
The professional dancer was only 16 when he competed for victory on Britain's Got Talent in 2009.
"When we first went on Britain’s Got Talent, I was 16 and at my heaviest, I went to just under 23 stone," he said on a special Loose Men edition of Loose Women.
"I was only 16 at this point, 6ft5. I’ve always been quite a big dude."
"Compare me to the other boys, all they’ve got to do is sneeze and they get an ab. I looked at a slice of chocolate cake and it felt like I gained a stone and that was always the way."
He continued: "'At first, it was difficult when we first started. You’re part of the biggest dance group in the country, you’re young, I’m 16, and to be blunt I felt like a bit of a fraud."
The star reminisced on how the other dancers would be "flipping around" while he tried to "disguise himself and kind of get away with a routine".
Jordan was joined by Martin Kemp, Richard Madeley and Robert Rinder on the special edition of Loose Women and discussed mental health as well as male body image.
The 28-year-old said social media and feeling like he needed to have a specific image made him take things far the other way.
He added: '"You get the pressures of social media – for me I went too far the other way. I then was 6ft5 and ended up weighing 11 and a half stone.
"I literally went way too far the other way because of all the pressures I felt to be a certain way."
Back in January, Jordan revealed to Mirror that his brother Ashley saved his life twice in his battle to lose weight.
Dancing on Ice judge Ashley, 32, first stepped in after Jordan ballooned to over 22 stone as a morbidly obese teenager.
Jordan then lost weight on a strict diet and exercise regime – but Ashley had to stage a second intervention when that too spiralled out of control.
