Paul Potts shot to fame when he won Britain’s Got Talent with his tenor voice in 2007. His story caught the attention of the nation and his life was adapted into the film, One Chance. He is back on screen with other ex-stars from Britain’s Got Talent in the new show, Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions. Over the years, he has battled with his weight and previously opened up about his journey.
When he was younger, Paul struggled with his weight and opened up about how he slimmed down.
He told The Mirror: “My weight yo-yoed during my 20s but going to the gym and following Weight Watchers meant I was able to lose 3st in two months quite easily.”
However, his weight loss soon halted when he got stomach pain and doctors found he had a malignant tumour.
After his shocking diagnosis, Paul struggled to control his weight as a side effect and started piling on the pounds.
However, his health has since improved and the singer has made sure to look after himself.
Paul explained he will watch what he eats when he feels himself piling on the pounds.
He told The Mirror: “I go by how clothes feel. If they feel tight, I need to lose weight. If they feel slack, I’m doing OK but need to try harder.”
As well as maintaining a healthy diet, the Britain’s Got Talent star explained he uses exercise to help him stay trim.
“I have some gym equipment at home and I do weights occasionally, but I prefer walking with my pooches,” he added.
“I get plenty of gym exercise with them!”
