The star of ITV's Saturday Morning show credits his weight loss to eating fish twice a day. The 51-year-old said: "What could be simpler than pan-frying a little bit of salmon and serving it with some great new potatoes and seasonal veg? ".
Instead of sipping on fizzy drinks, James now has 2.5 litres of water each day, reports The Mirror. In just one week on the BBC dance show, James said that he shed a stone in weight. Speaking about his diet, James said: "It's hard work because I'm a big bloke so I've really got to watch what I eat and drink, and make sure I exercise regularly.
It comes after James revealed he no longer eats "Mars bars and fizzy soft drinks". He added: "We might admire the Mediterranean diet but we don't eat the way the French, Spanish or Italians eat." He binned butter while on Strictly and by the time his run on the competition came to an end, James had lost a staggering five stone. The TV star has now embraced butter again, and even wrote a book about it called Butter: Comforting, Delicious, Versatile Over 130 Recipes Celebrating Butter.
