Love Island’s Iain Stirling forced to overhaul ‘dangerous lifestyle’

Our favourite voiceover chap's ditched the booze and shown off the results

Love Island's Iain Stirling

Lockdown really has pushed people to opposite ends of the lifestyle spectrum.

Some people (hopefully it’s not just us) have really been, er, prioritising the economy and living off takeaways. NO REGRETS.

Others, like Love Island voiceover extraordinaire Iain Stirling, have started to overhaul their unhealthy lifestyle and used lockdown to become super fit.

Speaking to Vicky Pattison on her The Secret To podcast, Iain claimed he needed to switch up his 'dangerously unhealthy' lifestyle; and lost almost two stone in the process.

He said, “I have lost one stone and 9lbs. I was 15st 9lbs last time I weighed myself, which was a while ago when I was on tour. Now I am 14 stone dead.”

Apparently, the secret to the Love Island narrator’s weight loss was the closure of pubs at the start of the pandemic; meaning that he wasn’t able to drink draft lager.

Iain also admitted that his lifestyle was ‘dangerously unhealthy’ before we went into lockdown, thanks largely to his job as a stand-up comedian.

He said, “Especially with gigging you go to places where there is just beer available. I would always have a couple and you are on the road so it’s takeaway food and service stations. Being at home I have cooked more.”

Love Island couples: where are they now?

And their new garden addition has come just in time for their household’s celebrations, as not only has Laura revealed when the next series of Love Island will air, she’s also set to begin filming Celebrity Juice alongside Emily Atack and Keith Lemon this month.
