The 57-year-old quiz whiz has always been open and candid about his weight loss journey, regularly updating fans.
“Down to 52 inch chest from 60″. So was 5xl, now 2xl. Still a lot of work to do,” Labbett recently wrote on social media.

Earlier in the year, Labbett told The Morning Show he’d managed to drop down to 135 kilograms from 185 kilograms, saying he was aiming to get his chest measurements back to what it was when he played rugby.
“I think when I got married I was about 174kg, 185 was my heaviest, I’m now about 135, so doing OK,” he said.
“When I was playing rugby, it was a 46 or a 48, so a few more inches to go but I’m on the way.”
In December 2021, Labbett appeared on the British lunchtime chat show Loose Women and shared the secret behind his dramatic weight loss, accrediting it to the efforts of “changing his habits”.
“I’m on a high protein diet… so eating an awful lot of meat and lean meat, and as much as I love chips and other carbs, I’m having quite a bit less than I used to,” he said.
He also told the show how looking after a toddler during lockdown has contributed to his weight-loss progress.
“The principal thing has been running around after a hyperactive three-year-old in lockdown when the nursery was shut,” Labbett said.
“I found at the end of the evening instead of going to the fridge for late-night snacking, all I could do was collapse on the bed.”
Labbett has become a household name all over the world, becoming a fixture in the UK, American and Australian versions of The Chase.
