When asked if Simon was now ‘thinner than David’, she joked: ‘Everyone is thinner than David.’
To which the man in question quipped: ‘He’s lost a tiny bit of weight but he’s not telling us how he’s done it. Is it the gastric band or sleeve? Are you doing a work out video for Christmas?’
Simon said he’d ‘do one’ with David, as he claimed it would ‘100 per cent’ sell, before Amanda said he lost the weight thanks to ‘skinny beer and being a vegan.’

He told Best Magazine: ‘People have said: “Oh, he’s had a gastric band fitted”- but I haven’t. If I had, I would admit to it. This diet is all about what you put into your body.
The judge has overhauled his lifestyle after a health scare in 2017, giving up sugar, fatty foods and unhealthy drinks.
‘I met this doctor in LA and he told me my diet was appalling and I had to cut out fatty foods and certain drinks.
