Take That star, 49, said he gained weight because it was a “rough food season.”

Prior to the duet on Gary’s new album, Gary told James Corden on Zoom: “I spent a rough time with food I wasn’t proud of and really lost control of myself.

I remember thinking, “How did you come here?” On a particular day. I was very disappointed with myself.

“So returning from such a place is a bit more serious than” Oh, I want to lose some stones here. ” It was more than just unable to continue.

“So I started there and I had a hard time organizing what I ate. The problem is the food I love — Chinese food, chips, potato chips. They gave me a few minutes of food coma. In the real world it’s not good, that’s it.

“So I decided not to have a cheat day, and just stay away from those foods. I sometimes want to have unusual cigarettes, but I can’t. I’ll start smoking again can not.”

Gary was open about his weight loss fight and admitted to keeping photos from his heavy days to remind him to stick to his healthy regime.

But he told James that the best way to get going is to keep a meal diary.

He states: “Buy a nice little book. You can always carry it with you. Write a daily meal diary and look down to find out what’s wrong.

“It will also let you go:” Oh, I could eat Cadbury’s, but if I do, I have to write it in my diary. “

“This is a good way to get people to think before doing anything, but in retrospect,” Where did you make a mistake today? “

“The meal diary also shows what you’re missing. If you’re serious about going to a dietitian or want to ask a friend for help, show me your diary.”
