But as he appears alongside other celebs such as Matt Hancock and Olivia Attwood, we take a look at how he lost weight and how he has kept it off.
How much weight has Chris Moyles lost?
Chris Moyles revealed in 2018 that he managed to shed five stone – but he has continued to lose weight since then.

How did Chris Moyles lose weight?
Chris Moyles has attributed his new svelte frame to a combination of eating healthily, regular exercise and a personal trainer.
The radio DJ was a fan of junk food but has swapped his calorific diet for vegetables, fruit, grains and protein.
His current diet includes just 2,000 calories per day – 500 less than the recommended daily amount.
He is reported to have been doing cardio three times a week, using free weights and running.
Moyles said he also lost weight by ditching booze and bread.
Because of his shift pattern, he said he would often opt for fast and easy junk food, rather than cooking something nutritious to eat.
What has Chris Moyles previously said about his weight?
He previously told The Sun: “I don’t know what I used to think when I looked in the mirror when I was at my worst.
“Now if I go out on a Friday or Saturday and have a few beers, I can see that I’m bloating in the mirror on Sunday.”
Chris also told Metro back in 2015 that if he hadn’t done something drastic he would have ended up dead.
He explained: “I’m getting older. If I don’t keep fit I will be dead by the time I am 50.”
In 2021, when speaking to Ross Kemp on his podcast, he said he had struggled with maintaining his physique.
He shrunk from 18 to 12 stone and detailed his strict regime.
He added: “Before lockdown, Monday, Wednesday, Friday I would do the show we would have a quick meeting… and then I’d get to the gym and I’d train 11-12 or 11-1, depending on how fat I was feeling. I’m feeling really fat at the moment!
“I’m fascinated by body dysmorphia because I really have an issue with body dysmorphia, which I think most people do. I’ve lost six stone from my worst weight when I was 18 stone!
“I know my body really well now, and I’m still learning. I don’t have the metabolism of an 18-year-old girl or boy, I just don’t.”
He added that he weighs himself six days a week in a bid to understand how his body works.
Moyles also revealed that he trains five days a week as well as watching what he eats.
“I do intermittent fasting and I’ll eat at 6:30PM or 7PM and I’ll be fine. I need to do that from the weekends that I have,” he added.
