Host Susanna Reid asked: ‘ How did you do it?’ to which he quickly replied: ‘Not with a gastric band. I’m not too sure how.

‘I weighed myself the other day and I was just under 19 stone and at my heaviest, I was just a shade under 185 kilos – 29 stone.

‘Essentially I’ve been carrying a sack of coal on my back all these years.’

The star previously revealed to The Sun that while he was tempted to go under the knife he instead decided to get fit and healthy the old fashioned way .

He said: ‘I’m not really trying to diet, I’m just being sensible, people say you’ve had the gastric sleeve or band, and I haven’t.

‘I was tempted by the gastric band but a good friend of mine who’s a GP, said my problem is sugar, I have a sweet tooth.

‘A gastric band is useless for me because sugar metabolises quite quickly, so I’ve done it the old fashion way by eating a bit less and I’ve tried to go to the gym.

A gastric band is a band that’s placed around the stomach, creating a small pouch towards the top which takes less food to fill.

He also revealed how he shed the pounds, saying he’s been ‘eating less and drinking more’ and focusing on his health.

Mark said he completely changed his diet due to battling diabetes and said that played a part of his weight loss.

‘I think the diabetes may have helped because I eat a lot less. I drink a lot more fluids,’ he said about his weight loss.’

It comes after Mark took a savage swipe at ex Hayley Palmer and claimed their relationship was ‘not serious’.

The quizzer and TV presenter, 42, split in May, just days after their one year anniversary, leaving the blonde in therapy for ‘betrayal trauma’.

Hayley previously claimed Mark ended their romance because he didn’t want to divorce ex, Katie, 32, with whom he shares seven-year-old son Lawrence.

In a interview with The Sun the ITV star revealed that he would only ever consider ending his marriage when he met the right person.

Telling the publication: ‘It will happen if either Katie or I get with someone serious, then it might obviously be a different matter’.

Mark and nurse Katie split in 2020 after seven years of marriage and continue to co-parent their son, often sharing snaps of family outings to social media.

It comes after Hayley expressed her determination to move forward and focus on self improvements following the ‘traumatic’ split.

In November she told Fabulous: ‘I’m focusing on my self-worth and working towards the body I’ve always wanted.

‘It was a horrible breakup, and he was truly beastly. But now, I’m all about becoming the best version of myself.

‘I’m at the gym every day, swimming, doing affirmations, getting my steps in, doing body pump, and lifting weights.’

Hayley previously confessed thinking about Mark with anyone else ‘brings it all back’ as she spoke candidly six months after the pair’s break up.

Hayley admitted she was forced to turn the TV channel over after seeing him on Loose Women as she admitted she found it ‘triggering’.

Speaking to MailOnline, Hayley confessed: ‘It was really upsetting seeing him pop up on my screen, and I had to turn over. I didn’t expect it to feel like that.
