Home and Away star James Stewart revealed his wife is incredible pleased with his recent weight loss transformation.
The actor, 47, began dating his co-star Sarah Roberts in 2017 after meeting on the set of the Channel 5 soap.
Sarah, 38, portrayed Willow Harris from 2017 until 2021 while James has played Justin Morgan since 2016, with their characters even dating for a while on the Aussie programme.

It wasn’t long before their love translated off-screen and the couple tied the knot in 2019.
Last month, James took to Instagram looking incredibly shredded as he showcased his dramatic body transformation after losing 12kg.
The actor shared a snap of himself in the gym, unveiling his rippling abs with a topless snap before showing what he looked like before hitting the weights.
Discussing his weight loss journey in an exclusive chat with Daily Star, the Aussie star claimed it was a different “mental game” as he did it without a trainer.
“I did it by myself, that was the thing,” he said.
The soap star added: “I’ve done it with trainers before and when you’ve got someone locking up your fridge and waking you up to get you to the gym on time, you kind of get to switch off.
“When you have to cook your own meals and do those last bits, that was a whole different mental game. So I was a little bit proud of that.”
James admitted he had a little help from his co-star, Theo Poulous actor Matt Evans, who even pushed him to show off his transformation online.
He explained: “Matty Evans helped me out in terms of what to lift and how to lift and encouraged me to post that.”
“And my wife is happy!” he laughed.
Opening up on social media about why he wanted to lose the weight in the first place, James confessed he didn’t feel “great” before revealing he couldn’t “keep up” with his 10-year-old daughter, Scout, who he shares with ex-girlfriend Jessica Marais.
Home and Away airs 1:45pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR. First-look screenings air at 6:30pm on 5STAR and the show also streams on My5.
