And he’s now lost four stone after deciding to make changes to his physique and obtain the help of a personal trainer.

Talking to The Sun about how he’s achieved his chiselled new look, the star explained: “I’ve had a four stone loss at 42-years-old, so I’ve got my abs now which is great. I never thought it would be possible but it happened after I worked and grafted. I’ve got my lovely body now.”

Steven also teased that he wants to “be a stripper,” and said that Magic Mike would be his chosen show to appear on.

Detailing why he decided to make the changes to his body now, Steven, who also reached the final of Celebrity Big Brother in 2015, explained he wasn’t feeling good in his own skin.

“I came off an Easter panto and I looked in the mirror and thought ‘I don’t like that.’ I thought I looked really overweight and hideous,” he continued.

Adding: “So I booked a personal trainer online who guided me through and I listened to him every week and before I knew it the weight was falling off. I could see my ab line and biceps and it was a really good experience and I’ve still kept it off and I’ve still got the body.”

Aside from his weight loss journey, the talented star has been keeping up with his music and doing gigs.

He also teased that he could be back on our screens before we know it, saying he’s in the final five to appear on a show, while teasing it could well be reality based.

In his audition for hit show The X Factor, Steven performed ‘Dance With Me Tonight’ by Olly Murs.

He initially didn’t make it through to live shows, but Cheryl chose him to be the Over 25s wildcard.

Stevi made it through to week seven, when he was eliminated over Andrea Faustini.

He’s a proud dad to a 15-year-old daughter named Summer, who he shares regular selfies with on social media.
