Cliff Parisi says Celeb MasterChef helped him change diet and lose half a stone in week

As lovable mechanic Minty Peterson in EastEnders he was partial to a greasy spoon fry-up or a takeaway – and Cliff Parisi admits he's no different in real life.

However, the actor now has two small children, and plans to turn his life around before his love of fatty food gets the better of him.

"I like my food," says Cliff, 62. "I love curries, fish and chips, a fry-up, Italian food. As a kid I loved school dinners, I loved everything about them. I'd eat spam fritters all day."
