AHEAD of taking to the small screen in search of love, Professor Green has shown off his impressive body transformation.

The singer, real name Stephen Manderson, 42, was announced as part of the 2026 line-up for Celebs Go Dating earlier this week.

And it appears he’s been getting both mentally and physically ready for the reality appearance.

Sharing shirtless before and after shots of his three week transformation, Stephen looks visibly more toned and revealed that his fat percentage has dropped to 11%, as well as his weight falling down.

In the snaps, Stephen’s tattoo tribute to his ex-fiancée Karima McAdams could be seen – with ‘Karima’ simply inked on his chest.

The pair are thought to have split in 2024 and share son Slimane.

While they kept their split fairly private, the singer – who was also previously married to Made In Chelsea’s Millie Mackintosh – is now seemingly open to find love again.

As well as a physical transformation, Stephen – who has discussed his journey with sobriety in the past – says his health kick has been game-changing mentally, too.

Writing a lengthy caption alongside the post, the musician explained that he was suffering from burnout before locking into the programme.

He wrote: “A flu at the end of summer wiped me, tastebuds changed and i lost some good weight, it took about 8 weeks before i started to feel human again. even longer before i felt i could train.

“This is where things began motoring towards what i now recognise to be periodic but cyclical burnout and shutdown.

“It all begins to get a bit much, i can’t stop my brain being hijacked and obligation and urgency are applied everywhere without any ability to prioritise. i become forgetful. quick.

“i’ve been managing to parent and work and not much else. within the not much else has been therapy, sleep and training.”

Continuing that this cycle left him “overwhelmed”, “stuck with anxiety” and “very sad”, Stephen made a candid admission about his personal life.

He continued: “I’ve been letting emails mount, allowed lapses in communication and withdrawn somewhat. I’ve been honest with a few nearest and dearest – and periodically on here too.

“I necessary part of me moving forwards is building safety into my life and relationships, and finding that inside myself to.

“Its not something I’ve ever truly felt bar via the safety i now provide for my son.”

Assuring that things are looking up, with this transformation the beginning, he wrote: “I’ve looked rough, but as you’ll see in these photos on the right, I’ve got a different look on my face today.”

He concluded that following therapy sessions and focusing on “showing up”, the star has now “turned a corner”.

Stephen will likely be seen getting into another form of therapy during his appearance on Celebs Go Dating – with experts Paul Brunson, Anna Williamson and Dr. Tara known for diving deep with their celeb clients.
