As Josie Gibson praised him on his look, he admitted: “I’ve lost five and a bit stone and I feel great actually. It’s been calories. I’ve tried every diet in the world as I’ve always been fat.

“I wanted to do something as I was having trouble washing and getting up to the top of the stairs. My mental health hadn’t been great either over the last six years. I was on tablets for it.”

Wynne was praised by fans as he took to social media to share a mirror selfie before his This Morning appearance.

He penned: “Join me on @itv @thismorning at 10:55 talking about the exciting plans for the future,” as he posed in a grey suit and white shirt.

Wynne reached 23.6 stone at his heaviest following the breakdown of his marriage and a battle with depression.

Both his parents had also passed away, and the advert star said he turned to food for comfort.

He realised he had to change when suicidal thoughts crept in.

He said: "I was doing a daily radio show where the feel of it is upbeat and keeping people in a good mood and cheering up the nation.

"The strapline of my show is, 'cheering Wales up by one o'clock,' but I was going through the worst depression, clinical depression.

"I would think about (suicide), I would try and action it... I couldn't see a way out; I couldn't see a way of ever being happy again."

Wynne experienced a watershed moment one Easter when he broke down in tears in front of his family.

He decided to see a therapist and was prescribed tablets for his anxiety and depression, which made him feel "much better, practically instantly".
