Les Dennis has revealed he lost three stone after a health scare pushed him to overhaul his diet and lifestyle.

The legendary presenter has been confirmed as the fifteenth and final celebrity contestant for the brand new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

And in a new interview, Les revealed that Strictly has given him a 'new lease of life' after a concerning diagnosis forced him to slim down in 2017, after spending weeks gorging on takeaways while on tour with The Addams Family.

He shared that doctors' warning that he was pre-diabetic was 'the biggest wake-up call' as it pushed him to focus on his health.
