Greg Davies has revealed that his appetite has never fully recovered after he stopped using the weight-loss drug Ozempic, which he took after a stark warning from his doctor.
The 57-year-old Taskmaster presenter lost three stone on the medication, which is typically used to treat type 2 diabetes. He told The Times: "Three stone fell off me. But I didn’t really like it, it made me a bit gaunt." He added: "My appetite’s never gone back to the way it was. I can’t ram things in the way I used to."
Despite the struggle, Davies has previously said he isn't afraid of ageing, suggesting it could help his career: "I think that’s probably good in my game, isn’t it?" His comedy often involves self-deprecation, which he attributes to his appearance. He describes himself as a "pot-bellied giant" and says his style is a "very British style of humour."
Davies will host the annual BAFTA ceremony this evening from London's Royal Festival Hall, broadcast on BBC One. He said: "I see the whole event as an opportunity to wave a flag for this beloved medium and, with the exception of one commissioner, two execs and a co-star that I have personal beef with, I will do everything I can to ensure it’s a night of warm celebration for all."
