He told The People: “I (lost weight) by filling myself up at every mealtime with healthy, nutritious food.

“There is no way of exercising off a bad diet. Use your conscience as a guide – it knows when you’re eating and drinking the wrong things.

“Every one of these recipes has been scrutinised by a ­nutritionist. If you want to start the New Year leaner, take these recipes as a guide.”

He has been taking to Instagram to show off his impressive six pack in the past year.

The star posted a shirtless photo displaying his toned tummy after his dramatic weight loss.

Gregg has been on his weight loss journey since 2006 when he was told his cholesterol levels were dangerously high.

He has cut back on alcohol and fat, and is eating more fruit and vegetables as well as lean protein.

He also believes in moderation and shuns fad diets, often posting motivational updates on Instagram such as: “You can lose weight without starving yourself and being uncomfortable.

“I eat nice food and I like a glass of wine. If I did it so can you.”
