My 3000lb Family star Casey King had male fans begging to cover him in oil and cuddle before he lost an epic 41 stone.
The TLC reality star weighed 57 stone – around 800lbs – at his heaviest, and was warned by doctors that he simply wouldn’t wake up one day due to his excessive weight.
But his bigger frame came with some bonuses, too, as obsessive fans had some rather odd requests.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, US native Casey confessed: “There were three men, all in the UK. They wanted to… one of them wanted to just cuddle. He wanted to fly me out to the UK – I don’t know exactly where he lived – and he was like, ‘I don’t wanna be weird, I just wanna lay in a bed with you and cuddle’.
“At that time I was still enormous, like probably still 500lbs. I did not have any possibility of getting a passport and I just wasn’t really gonna be okay with that, because it just sounds so creepy!”

Casey continued: “Then there was a guy who was like, ‘Hey, I’ll pay for your flight for you to come out here. I just wanna cover you in oil! and bathe you and rub you down.’
“These three dudes… they were like, ‘Hey, I’m into this. I’m into you.’ I had to say, ‘Hey guys, listen – no offence, I appreciate your compliments but I still am really big and I’m not into guys. But thank you because at least you let me know that I am wanted by someone, somewhere’.”
Another man simply wanted Casey to come and live with him for a week so he could “take care of him”.
Casey, who was 34 at the time of filming the show, was so large he had to bathe in an outdoor trough and had his dad wipe his bum for him after using the toilet.

That didn’t deter his loyal legion of fans, though.
He added: “I’ve gotten girls who just wanted to see pictures of my belly because they are into guys being bigger than them.
“I’ve gotten women that wanted to only talk to the 700 pound version of me, and when I told them I’d lost weight, they said, ‘I don’t wanna talk to you, you’re not big enough anymore.’ That hurt my feelings.
“There have been so many more men than I thought there would be!”
It wasn’t all a walk in the park, however, as Casey was also forced to face down vile trolls who sent him death threats.
“I was so disliked on the show – I was painted to look like such an a**hole. Admittedly I wasn’t the nicest person to be around, I was very negative, I was very much a man-baby.

“But the hardest part was the intense amount of negativity and trolling, and literal death threats. Literal, ‘We hate you, you are a piece of garbage, you’re a waste of space, kill yourself.'”
Thankfully the star is in a much better place now – and is dating after confessing “sex didn’t exist” when he was at his heaviest.
Casey can now be found on YouTube and Instagram.
