The X Factor's Stevi Ritchie has left fans shocked after losing 20kg (just over three stone) in just eight weeks.

The reality TV star shared a before and after picture of his dramatic body transformation and admitted he's proud of his journey before shutting down any speculation that he's edited the photos.

On Twitter he wrote, 'So July I was 98.kgs and felt uncomfortable and always struggled with my weight.

;But after a 8 week gruelling but rewarding cut with #tommyoxfordfitness I'm in the best shape of my life today at 78kgs and I'm so proud of myself non photoshopped too xx.' [sic]

On Instagram, Stevi revealed he lost weight after help from Tommy Oxford Fitness.

At the beginning of his journey back in July he weighed 98kg and confessed he felt "uncomfortable, unhealthy and unfit" but after a "gruelling" eight weeks he's dropped down to 78kgs.

The X Factor star reflected on his transformation and admitted he felt "emotional" look back at his journey because he's "always struggled" with his weight.

Lots of his followers rushed to praise him, with some even questioning if the photos are fake despite him insisting they've not been photoshopped.

One person wrote, 'Wow, incredible transformation Stevi, you look amazing!!!! Well done you 👏🏻👏🏻'. [sic]

Shane Nolan joked, 'Amazing what you can do ya with these apps now'.

A third said, 'The first photo was a big surprise as I never realised you put on any weight. Well done for the shape up. Look cute either way😉👏🏾👏🏾'. [sic]

Another tweeted, 'For those who’s saying it’s fake, look at his belly button... well done stevi much love ❤️'.

One more added, 'Fair play to you. You smashed your goal 👏👏👏'.

Stevi shot to fame back in 2014 following his stint on The X Factor where he met his partner Chloe Jasmine Whichello.

Seven months after appearing on The X Factor together they got engaged and despite 'showmance' rumours they entered the Celebrity Big Brother house together.

However a few months later they hit a rough patch before reuniting and instead of getting legally married they opted to have a blessing instead.

In September 2016 they split again but months later reunited. The X Factor stars rarely share photos of each other online but Chloe Jasmine did share a selfie with Stevi in January earlier this year.
