Judge Robert Rinder says he’s ‘two-stone’ overweight according to the NHS and has taken drastic action to shed the pounds.
The daytime TV star and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, 42, revealed on social media that he has entered into a contest with Alan Car in a bid to get into shape.
According to the NHS website, I’m 2 stone over my recommended weight. I needed a bit of a push so have entered into a contest with Alan Carr. From tonight we have 2 months to get as close as possible to our ‘healthy’ BMIs. Furthest away has to buy the other a cheeseburger. pic.twitter.com/7zZ62Diq6H

“I have been on a weird diet of 1,000 calories,” he told the newspaper.
“Adele looks great and she has inspired me. She is looking great. I love Adele.”
