At the time he revealed he had embarked on “Operation Dad Bod”, in a bid to get healthier.
Speaking about how the singer lost the weight, his rep told the MailOnline: “Antony is on a health kick with diet and exercise, that is it – no magic formula.”
Weight loss journey
Antony previously opened up that his weight loss journey started after he piled on the pounds when he had no work.
Speaking in 2022, he told The Sun: “In that first lockdown I was just picking and picking and picking.
“I didn’t know how long the first lockdown was going to be, some said two weeks, others said three months, it went on for a very very long time.
Continuing, Antony said: “Yes I did gain weight, I’m not afraid to say that, but I lost it with hard work.
“It really was to get my mindset into the fact of lockdown isn’t going to last forever and I’ve got to get back to work and I’ve got to feel good for myself and my wellbeing.
“TV puts on ex amount of pounds on you! I’m not the tallest in the world, TV unfortunately for me, ‘oh you look different on TV!’ I always get that comment.
“I’ve always battled with my weight up and down, I have to get into that mindset if I’m working towards something it gets me going.”
In 2018, Antony took part in Channel 5‘s Get A Holiday Body: Lose A Stone In Four Weeks.

Speaking on the show, the boyband star said: “My weight has always yo-yoed.
“My diet on the road, you’re eating fast food. Backstage, there’s chocolates and crisps, and you sit there just eating. I looked ballooned, I felt sick, gutted.”
Fame at a young age
Aged just 20-years-old, Antony burst onto the scene in the noughties boyband Blue.
The chart-topping group racked up an impressive three multi-platinum selling albums between 2001 and 2005.
Along with his bandmates Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe and Duncan James, Antony released hits like All Rise, Too Close, Guilty, One Love, and the Elton John collaboration, Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.
