We’re seeing a lot less of Jonathan Ross recently...
The ITV chat show host has shed a stone in a month on a gruelling liquid-only diet, after piling on lockdown pounds.
Jonathan, who went vegan and teetotal last year, wanted to quickly drop weight before returning to ITV screens, so swapped his meals for (vegan) protein shake Huel, which saw him lose a stone in just four weeks.
"I’ve been living off liquid food as I wanted to lose weight," he explains.
But after seeing its impact, the 60-year-old has decided to continue replacing some of his meals with the drink.
"Now I just get up and have my chocolate milkshake – it’s easier," he says.
"I’m old. I’ve eaten enough great food in my life.
"When I gave up booze, I realised I’d had more than my fair share already. If I never eat another steak, it’s not a big deal. We’re trying to be sustainable."
TV chef Nigella Lawson said last week that she was unable to stick to a vegan diet, as she missed eggs too much.
"Nigella has never had much of a backbone," laughs Jonathan.
“You do miss stuff. I’ve eaten eggs once or twice but accidentally. It hasn’t changed me at all – I’m not a poster boy for a vegan diet.”
He might just land a Huel promo-tion, though.
