Labbett previously revealed that in his previous career as a maths teacher, he peaked at 29 stone, or 184kg.

Posting on social media, Palmer said: "I'm so proud of @markthebeatlabbett. He started to come to the gym with me in the mornings and he is doing so well.

"He is down to 124kg / 19.5 stone. We're planning to tone and improving conditioning."

In the clip shared on Instagram, The Beast can be seen pumping iron in the gym. From lifting dumbells to powering through the step machine, he's clearly been working hard on his new physique.

In an interview with The Sun, he said: "My lungs appreciate it - I’ve lost eight inches off my chest.

"Hayley is getting me to the gym. I love weights."
