Dumfries DJ secretly diets for TV health show

A Dumfries DJ has been secretly dieting to star in a TV health show.

And Alive Radio’s Lee Medd kept his weight loss progress from friends by wearing a body suit specially designed to match his original stature.

His new look will be revealed in Tuesday’s episode of Secret Body on BBC Scotland.

The DJ said: “The whole experience, working with the team on Secret Body, truly has transformed my life.

“And I can’t wait for everyone to see the episode.”

Billed as the world’s first ever “undercover” weight loss show the series is presented by lifestyle and slimming experts Stephen Clarke and Rab Shields.

They have been helping thousands of people transform their lives for more than 15 years through exercise, clever nutrition and the all-important mind-set.

Tuesday’s episode features Lee, who longed to be slim, fit and confident enough to be able to enjoy a dance with his wife, Andrea.

The programme follows the journey of two slimmers as they try to keep their amazing body transformation a secret from their friends and family by wearing a specially designed body suit which is the exact same size and shape of their pre-transformation bodies.

The suits are designed and built by theatrical costume fabricators Chantal Short and Athena Patterson.

Worn every time they leave the house, the body suits give the secret slimmers the freedom to go about their daily lives, and constantly seeing how big they used to be helps to keep them motivated to continue with their hard work ... until the big reveal before friends and family 12 weeks later.

The episode featuring Lee will air on Tuesday February 1 at 10pm.
