According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Ben Shephard described their physical transformations as a significant process.
You got into amazing shape, you've kept the size! Both of you were working hard on that clearly, but it's quite a process to become the size of Ruben compared to what we know your size was before.
8 kg for 'Half Man'. According to Daily Express - Showbiz, Richard Gadd described following a strict regimen that included a personal trainer, six-day weekly workouts, a nutritionist, pre-made meals, specific eating times, and fasting periods. The number of episodes produced has not been confirmed.
Yeah, absolutely. I was 68.8 kilograms when I shot Baby Reindeer. I slimmed down, so I was really thin. My heaviest, I think I was 109.8 I think was the heaviest on this. It was so funny because it was choreographed. I remember the nutritionist saying working out was 80% diet, and I remember thinking, 'What are you talking about?' But it was so choreographed. I had a personal trainer, I worked out six days a week, I had a nutritionist, I had a company make meals in England and send them up, I would eat them at specific times, and I'd go through periods of fasting. It was a 24/7 thing, and I was thinking I'd just go to the gym every now and again. But, it was a huge commitment alongside everything else, I'd be typing and writing the show, and my body would be in immense pain, but I enjoyed it!
