The born-to-be entertainer sailed through X Factor‘s gruelling auditions and intense Six Chair Challenge.
However, he was booted off during the lives shows in week seven as former host Dermot O’Leary sent him home.
But these days the star appears to have turned his attention from singing to fitness.
Taking to Instagram, Stevi, now 43, showed off his ripped body and impressive six pack.
He left fans stunned as Stevi revealed he’s now in the ‘best shape of his life’.
Speaking to the Daily Star about the transformation, the dad-of-one revealed: “I’ve lost a lot of weight I’ve got six-pack abs now.
“I’m in the best shape of my life. I got back from panto and put on a few kilos so I did a quick six-week training plan and only finished two or three weeks ago.
“It’s loads of steps, loads of walking, good cardio and some strength training, oh and a good diet. You can’t go wrong.”
Stevi is no stranger to reality shows, having taken part in Celebrity Big Brother in 2015 after his stint on X Factor.
He entered the famous TV house with his new ex-partner Chloe Jasmine.
The pair, who were considered one housemate, finished the former Channel 5 show in fifth place.
