Speaking on Steph’s Packed Lunch in June, James reflected on his journey and his incredible weight loss over recent months.
“It felt horrible, I was always extremely uncomfortable, I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror,” the star said of his old body on the Channel 4 show.
“It felt depressing and it just wasn’t me. Now I’m starting to feel like myself again and I’m excited about what the future is going to bring.”
The star – who once dated former co-star Gemma Collins – added: “It was scary being 27 stone… It was serious, doctors were telling me how dangerous it was… I knew it was something I had to address pretty quickly.”
Prior to his surgery, James admitting losing 10 stone was his goal, but the fitness-loving star now wants to shed 15 stone from his previous weight total.

It’s been reported that the TV personality wants to lose at least a stone every month between now and the end of the year.
The star has even enlisted the help of his former TOWIE buddy, Mark Wright.
A source told The Sun : ‘It’s a lot but he’s determined to do it because he is feeling so much healthier following his operation. He’s been getting a lot of support from Mark.’
The insider also claimed the star has been shedding the pounds quicker than he initially anticipated.
“James has never felt better in his life and the weight has dropped off far more quickly than he ever expected,” they added when talking to the publication.
“It’s made him realise he can lose even more weight so he plans to just go for it.”
