How Lenny Henry Lost Three Stone: Secrets Revealed
Lenny Henry, the renowned 65-year-old comedian, recently shocked fans with his remarkable three stone weight loss. He sat down with Virgin Radio’s Chris Evans to disclose the secrets behind his incredible transformation.
Commitment to Yoga and Dietary Changes
During his interview, Lenny candidly shared, “I do yoga, I don’t eat what I used to. My family was… ‘if you leave anything, you’re sleeping outside’. So we used to have to eat everything mum put on your plate. I love to eat but I’m diabetic so I had to.”
Diving into Workouts
It was revealed that Lenny’s fitness journey began while filming a series. He mentioned, “We’d do training in the morning and more training in the evening. We had six weeks of rehearsals and by the end of that six weeks I’d lost a stone. I thought, ‘I might as well carry on doing this’. My doctor said, ‘You’ve got to start watching what you eat now’. I was going to the gym two or three times a week and it wasn’t coming off, it was to do with what goes in your gob.”
Transition from Comic Relief Hosting
Last month, Lenny Henry announced that he would be stepping down from hosting Comic Relief after an illustrious 39-year run. In a statement, he expressed, “I have decided this will be the last time I host Comic Relief on the night. Only because I have been doing it since the 90s – and I think it is time for someone else to take the reins.”
Looking Ahead
As Lenny bids farewell to his hosting duties, the spotlight now shifts towards his replacement. While the new host remains a mystery, it is anticipated that either Davina McCall, David Tennant, Paddy McGuinness, or Maya Jama may step up to the plate.
In conclusion, Lenny Henry’s weight loss journey serves as an inspiration to many, showcasing the transformative power of dedication and lifestyle changes. As he embraces new beginnings, his legacy at Comic Relief will forever be etched in the hearts of many.
