Is Dieting Worth the Trouble?
The former Take That star has battled a fluctuating waistline since he was a teenager, and earlier this year (13), he began to pile on the pounds again.

He tells the newspaper’s Weekend magazine, “An article in the Daily Mail said I was starting to look like Elvis during a performance in Sweden. It did spur me on to a dramatic weight loss. Since then I’ve lost 23 or 24lb. So thank you Daily Mail!” Contactmusic
