Paddy McGuinness has said he 'definitely feels better and stronger' after gaining three stone in weight in just 12 months.
The Top Gear presenter from Bolton said although he felt fit, he 'looked ill' in his smaller frame.
He shared a before and after photo of his face to show the transformation to his Instagram followers, with the message:
"Look at the difference! I definitely feel better with a bit of weight on me.
"There’s 12 months between these pics. I stripped right back to 12 stone, felt fit but looked ill.
"I’m now 15 stone and feeling stronger, having said that none of my suits fit me anymore!!! #thursday #weightloss #weightgain #beforeandafter #thin #curvy."
The 46-year-old received a flood of positive messages complimenting his post, agreeing that he "looks loads better with curves".
His wife Christine was among the praising fans, who replied with: "Better now", along with a heart-eye emoji.
One follower shared a message about body positivity, saying: "Too many men (and women) feel like they have to be something they’re not, especially if they’re in the public eye. It’s about feeling comfortable within yourself".
The comedian revealed his weight loss back in January 2019, where he said he had shed more than two stone in the space of four months.
Paddy said it was down to a strict diet and fitness regime.
