Even though he shed a few stone over the years, the TV star revealed it wasn’t “up until just before lockdown” that he started to shed the pounds properly.
In March 2021, he appeared on Loose Women and told all about how he did it.
He told the hosts: “I gradually dropped Xs off my size, from 5XL to 4XL, and it looks like the next time I go shopping I’ll be able to squeeze into XL pants. Small things but important things.”
Mark noted he began to focus more on his diet while also upping his exercise regime, which drastically helped him slim down.
He added: “The principal thing has been running after a hyperactive three-year-old in lockdown when the nurseries were shut.
“Instead of going to the fridge for a bit of late-night snacking, all I could do was just collapse on a heap on the bed.”
He also branded his adorable golden retriever his “personal trainer”, as he helped him kick-start his new exercise routine.
Mark explained that his pooch Baloo, kept him motivated to keep fit during his appearance on ITV’s The Pet Show, admitting his wife suggested he begin walking him for exercise.
“I was walking him around the fields, taking me places,” he said. “I think he’s helped a lot, simply because I’m doing more activity.”
