Many avid telly watchers may remember Steve Miller from his days on the Sky reality show, Fat Families.
The programme previously captivated the nation and featured hypnotherapist Steve who promised overweight people they’d shed the pounds.
However, 15 years on from the iconic show, the former host is now up to something very different.
The broadcaster has become a member of the Reform UK party and took to social media to share the news.
Steve uploaded a pH๏τograph of a Reform UK card on X, formerly Twitter, alongside the caption: ‘PROUD – to receive membership to @reformparty_uk. If you want to save Britain, it’s what you do.’
And on another social media post, he penned: ‘Dear ordinary decent people, Be proud to tell others you support Reform U.K.

The former Fat Families host shared various social media posts including one of a Reform UK card
‘Do not worry about people claiming you are racist for doing so. You aren’t.
‘You simply care about your country. It’s time to be proud of supporting Reform UK. Steve Miller.’
Some remembered Steve from his former Fat Families days and posted ‘Thought I recognised him,’ alongside a video of him on the show.
Another commented: ‘Explains why he was always so rude.’
While someone else said: ‘Proud of supporting clowns, eh?’

The TV star responded to the post with, ‘YES! This is me and I am absolutely DELIGHTED to be a member of @reformparty_uk.’
Reform UK is a national political party led by right-wing politician Nigel Farage.
It is a huge change from his previous TV career as host of Fat Families which was broadcast for two seasons.
The show aired on Sky1 from 6 January to 30 December 2010 but only lasted 11 months – running from January 6 to December 30, 2010.
It detailed Steve’s day-to-day interactions with overweight families who hope to turn their lives around by improving their diet and lifestyle.
Each episode showed so-called ‘weight loss expert’ and ‘former fatty’ Miller chat to the family – who later disclose their diets to him.

He then spends 24 hours with them to gauge their lifestyle habits, before making modifications to their family home to encourage weight loss practises.
At the end of the Miller’s time with each family, he gives them a hard nine-month weight loss ᴅᴇᴀᴅline – revisiting them later for an update.
The show was very typical of its time – Sky’s compeтιтors offered a plethora of similar shows in the 2010s and even earlier.
One example is Channel 4’s Supersize vs Superskinny lasted an impressive five years and was hosted by celebrity doctor Christian Jessen and famed broadcaster Anna Richardson.
