One even flat out asked Jason if he has been taking weight loss jab Ozempic to achieve his healthy appearance. 

‘Okay Jase spill the beans. Are you on O jabs?’ they wrote.  

Alongside the post, Jason wrote: ”You can now grab 4 tickets for just £100 (plus fees) for A Manford All Seasons, thanks to the @ticketmasteruk June Bundle Offer! Yes that’s right £25 per person (plus fees)!’ 

Back in 2021, Jason lost three stone after reaching a peak of 17st 5lb and wearing size 40 jeans. 

Speaking about the relationship he has with his weight, the Mirror reports Jason said: ‘I think I’ve thought about my weight every day of my adult life.’

He said that small things such as trying on clothes that don’t fit or getting out of breath playing with his children caused him to reconsider his lifestyle. 

Jason claims he tried a variety of diets to help control his weight, but it was only when he stopped eating so much and started move more that he started to notice a difference. 

While battling to cut down his weight, Jason said he received support from both his family, and the Jason Manford Weight Loss Support Group on Facebook he originally set up back in 2017.

Speaking about his weight loss, Jason said: ‘I get a bit of a buzz out of it.’

Jason used to use his weight to his comedic advantage while performing, even adopting the nickname ‘the fat Michael Owen’ after being heckled at the age of 17.

He said: ‘I started to write jokes about being overweight – you can take the power away from the bully or the heckler – they were my defence.’

The comedian revealed he used to believe that larger comedians were the funniest because they had signs of having struggled in life – and that he was concerned about not being found funny if he were slimmer.
