Bake Off star Matt Lucas's amazing weight loss and inspiring story

Bake off and Little Britain star Matt Lucas has been sporting a slimmed down figure recently. He says he's slimmer and fitter after "he just had to do something about" the weight he gained during lockdown.

Lucas, who was one of the latest subjects of the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are? series in which his family's inspiring story was revealed, says his weight loss has created a mixed reaction from fans. He even said he'd been 'thin-shamed'.

Writing on Twitter after a trip to the Emirates to see his beloved Arsenal last season, he said: "Shout out to the lady who stopped me at football today to ask me why I've lost weight and to inform me I look a lot older. For the first time in my life, I think I've just been thin-shamed."
