David Potts is winning over fans with his stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house, both among his housemates and viewers.
But what some people may not know is that the Ibiza Weekender star was putting in the work for weeks before he even stepped foot inside the house. The star has been working hard in the gym ahead of his run on the fly on the wall show, and has overhauled his diet.
And his efforts have certainly paid off, with David shedding an incredible three stone so far.

So how did he do it? And what has he said about his weight loss? David started sharing updates from the gym late last year, telling fans in October that after three weeks of his new regime he was a stone and a half down. “I’m feeling so amazing!” he said on Instagram at the time.

“I love seeing results through comparing pictures not just by using scales. I know there isn’t a massive difference but I’m seeing results and it’s giving me even more motivation. I got this.” The following month he shared that he’d hit the two stone mark, telling fans on Instagram that he was “buzzing” about his achievement. “Huns the amount of times I’ve yo-yo’d with my weight is endless,

” David explained. “But I’ve just got to keep on pushing because I know I can do it, even tho it’s bloody hard work!” The TV star kept pushing on before his stint on the ITV show, sharing videos of him working out with weights as he continued to get into shape. And two months ago he celebrated stepping on the scales and discovering that he was three stone down from his starting point.

Posting side by side before and after pictures on Instagram, he told his followers: “Another stone bites the dust. Officially 3 stone down ahhhhh! Just another 7 to go SLAY!”
He went on: “For a few weeks I’ve been 2lbs off and it’s not been shifting, but it’s GONE! The journey continues huns. BIG shoutout to @nuffieldhealth_bolton for providing amazing classes and even better instructors.”

David also decided to share how he had shed the pounds, revealing that it was a combination of exercise and what he was eating.
“For everyone wanting to know how I’ve done it,” he said. “I’m no dietitian or PT, but I try and go to the gym 6 days a week and eat 1700 calories! Then one day I do zero exercise and eat whatever the F I want! It seems to be working for me.”
Fans have been impressed by David’s commitment, with many urging him on in sweet posts on social media. “Incredible absolutely slaying,” one posted on Instagram after the star’s last set of before and after shots.
“Amazing good for you I bet you feel brand new,” said someone else. Another added: “Well done David smashed it, keep up the good work, keep smashing the gym.”
