The chef, who weighed 19st 7lb, reportedly lost a stone in just a week.
He then went on to lose a further four throughout the competition.
Following the series, James decided to overhaul his eating and exercise habits for good.
Speaking about his Strictly weight loss, James told Prima: “I lost five stone in seven weeks. I mean, I needed to!”
Meanwhile, James previously admitted he’s critical over his appearance.
He told the Daily Mail: “I just think it’s a lifestyle thing and also looking at yourself on TV…
“You get critical of yourself. You kind of watch and go, ‘Oh God there’s a bit of a chin happening there’. And everybody’s TVs are bigger now.
“Before you used to watch TV on a small one and now they’re massive.”
James, 49, lost weight by cutting back on fatty foods and watching what he drinks.
When is James next on television?
James continues his adventure across the UK in his ITV1 series tonight (August 2).
