Although Nathan, 27, ignored the vile comments, pals told The Sun Online it did spur Nathan into action ahead of his wedding to Cara De La Hoyde.

Nathan’s impressive before and after pictures reveal how the hunk’s gruelling hours in the gym have paid dividends.

A source said: “Nathan has had a hard time of it online with the trolling and felt like he needed to do something about it.

“Usually he doesn’t let things get to him but he was feeling more and more self-conscious - so sprang into action.”

The cruel comments started after he appeared on Lorraine back in July.

Nathan’s pal added: “Seeing himself looking so overweight on TV was the last straw. He felt grotesque.

“He’d got too comfortable and really let things slide.

“Now he’s been eating clean and hitting the gym hard.”

His rippling physique has made Nathan feel as confident as he did when he appeared on Love Island two years ago.

And it’s not just Nathan who is pleased, as the source said Cara is impressed with his new look.

The friend explained: “Cara thinks he looks amazing but thinks he looked great before too.

“She’s so proud of what he’s achieved.

“Being a fit and healthy dad is a priority to him moving forward, he wants to be in the best condition he can be in for Freddie - especially as soon as he’s on his feet and running around!”
