Fasting is not sustainable or enjoyable, yet we've been conditioned to think the only way to burn fat is to cut out all the things we love and spend hours in the gym. How can anyone live like that? Don't starve yourself; train, then refuel your body.

I wasn't born ambitious, but I am ambitious now.

My mum is a social worker and my dad's a roofer. My brother Nicky and I were the first two in my family to go to university.

Start early and hydrate as soon as you wake up.

I applied the same mentality to my social media as I did when I was doing my boot camps. I thought, well, no one's watching, but I'll keep adding value, putting out good recipes, funny workouts and good videos. And it grew and grew.

Eat carbs such as sweet potato or jasmine rice within one hour of your workout. Cut down on them on rest days when you don't need the extra fuel.

I like going to the cinema or theatre, followed by a meal and cocktails. I'm typically home by midnight; I used to be a raver but not now, unless I'm on the boys' trips to Vegas, Dubai or Miami.

My mum loved housework, she basically had OCD.

I grew up on a council estate, but I still had a roof over my head, we still had food, I went on school trips. I wasn't completely deprived.

Oh, I love a good burger, I really do. With chips and a beer and ice cream afterwards.

Cooking at home with fresh ingredients means you know what's going into your food.

I think I've opened up my mind to all foods, except tinned tuna. I can't stand that. I will not go near it; the smell is unbearable.

As a kid I had a very unhealthy diet. I try not to place any blame. Mum was uneducated in cooking. She left school and home at 15, had my older brother when she was 17 and me at 19. It was usually frozen meals and lots of cola, peanut butter, jam sandwiches, sweets and loads of chocolates.

I Snapchat in the bath. I Snapchat when I wake up. I'm giving people inspiration. It's like a TV show.

I work with my brother and best mates, but I wouldn't give any old plonker a job. With success, I've been able to spend more time with family and be financially supportive in a way I never thought I could.

Well, I started my career as a personal trainer. So I did one-to-one, you know, outdoors, at people's houses and then obviously boot camps and stuff, which I love.

I just don't regret anything I've gone through or anything I have been through with my mum and dad, I'm just proud of who I am.
