Arg lost nearly 14 stone when he overhauled his lifestyle and underwent a sleeve gastrectomy procedure after reaching a staggering 27 stone during lockdown.
He spoke exclusively to the Mail’s comedy podcast, Straight To The Comments! which embraces the hilarity and uniqueness of the MailOnline comment section with the celebs in question.
‘At my biggest I was 27 stone. I took the p***. Now I’m about 13.5 stone,’ he said.
‘I think I was just acting out on feelings and emotions, eating and eating and then lockdown, Covid, that didn’t help.’
He admitted his doctor told him he was ‘on death row’ when he was at his heaviest, during which time he ‘couldn’t tie my own shoelaces’ and was ‘finding it hard to breathe.’
James said he wasn’t even able to see his own penis, joking: ‘I can just about see it now.’
Despite his positive lifestyle change, he said that there were times when he actually got ‘too skinny’ and is currently trying to ‘up’ his protein and ‘gain a little bit more.’
He added that the supportive comments from fans spurred him on to lose weight, but that people have to be ‘careful’ about what they say.

‘You know when you get comments like, ‘You look well, keep going,” it does spur you on, it does make you feel better,’ he said.
‘I think you’ve got to be quite careful, if it’s about someone looking healthy, I think – I used to say to myself, “the more weight you lose the better,” so the skinnier you are the better, but that isn’t actually the case because there are times when you’re too skinny.’
He added: ‘And even now I’m trying to up my protein a little bit and trying to gain a little bit more.’
