Remember old Top Of The Pops presenter Jamie Theakston? He’s looking incredibly buff these days

1. Remember old Top Of The Pops presenter Jamie Theakston? He’s looking incredibly buff these days Jamie Theakston has been busy showing off his amazing physical transformation after dropping three stone in a year. The former Top Of The Pops presenter, now best known for hosting a show on Heart FM, was challenged by Men’s Fitness to get into shape back in 2015. Jamie agreed, and now the 45-year-old has lost half his body fat thanks to some serious hard graft and dietary changes.

2. BEFORE: In his youth, Jamie was a keen fencer. But in the last few years his eating habits and work regime – plus a lackadaisical approach to nutrition – started to take their toll on his general health. ‘I didn’t know the difference between protein and carbohydrate and had never taken much notice,’ he explained.

3. ‘I’d be in the studio at 5am, then I’d have a breakfast at 6.30am and maybe another one at 8.30am, and it was sausage and bacon sandwiches, tonnes of coffee. Looking back it’s kind of shocking,’ he told the magazine. But a combination of healthier eating and exercise – mainly tough weight lifting and pull-ups – has helped him get rid of his 38in waist this year. Former Live And Kicking host Jamie claims the physical change has come with many benefits. ‘You can see it in the little things, like running upstairs: a year ago, I was carrying an extra three stone,’ he said. ‘I feel brighter, my complexion’s better, all of those things.’

4. Jamie’s results were achieved after he worked with a personal trainer for an hour, three times a week, and replaced bacon butties with chicken, steak or salmon meals.
