Ricky told : “People say I look great now. They then say I used to be pear-shaped. Why didn’t anyone tell me? I would have worked out earlier.”

He has sweated off a monster 22lb in just a year after a decade of high-living caught up with him. But Ricky insists he did it for himself – and notbecause Hollywood demanded it. He said: “I’ve never had a problem with weight. I was thin until I was about 29. Then I hit 30 and there was a decade of eating and drinking.
The comedian in the street
Ricky said: “I’ve just always liked eating. Losing the weight wasn’t a problem. I just decided I’d work out and slim down because I didn’t want to die. “Now I get up, take a deep breath and go running. “Every morning I have red wine coming out of my pores, I feel a bit sick – and then I think I have to work out for an hour now to burn off all those calories.
Casual street look
“I go for a run on Hampstead Heath most days when I’m in London. I probably do about 35-40 minutes of cardio and then 20 minutes of weights at home. It’s made easier because I have a gym in my house. Then I can eat and drink what I want – wine and cheese – throughout the day.”
