Phillip Schofield underwent significant weight loss several years ago, which he credited to a popular diet plan.
The Dancing On Ice host revealed in 2014 he lost over one and a half stone due to the approach.
However, according to reports, This Morning star Phillip also admitted the change in his eating did leave him “really hungry”.

5:2 was particularly popular at the time and garnered lots of media coverage.
It involves those following it fasting for two days a week and reducing their calorie intake to 600 (men) or 500 (women).
‘I can’t keep weight on’
By the following year, Phillip had dropped even more weight and addressed the matter during an appearance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man.
It was reported in June 2014 that 5: 2 led to him going from 12 and a half stone to under 11 stone.
Phillip explained to host Alan: “I saw a picture and thought, you look a bit porky.
I wanted to be 11 stone. It took nine or 10 months and now I am.
“I wanted to be 11 stone. It took nine or 10 months and now I am.”
Phillip also noted how the dramatic weight loss meant others sometimes questioned whether he was unwell.
