The former Coronation Street star said he was feeling "a lot healthier in body and mind" after shedding twenty four pounds.

Shayne confessed, "I’m happy to not be in that place I was 21 weeks ago. I was sluggish, I was stressed and I didn’t really want to do anything.

"When I started training, I wasn’t in the greatest place – I was trying to balance everything on my shoulders in my personal and professional life. I didn’t enjoy ‘me’."
