Piers Morgan jokingly asks personal trainer to help him lose weight on GMB

Piers Morgan jokingly asked a personal trainer to help him lose weight and ban him from going to McDonald’s on Tuesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain.

The host, 54, was inspired by guest Darren ‘Dibsy’ McClintock’s 20 stone weight loss after his PT Mike Hind handed out leaflets to local takeaways begging them not to serve his client.

Talking to the duo about their inspirational milestone, Piers joked: ‘You couldn’t do a bit of work with me, could you?

‘Banned at Kensington McDonald’s, don’t serve him a Big Mac! My local wine store, don’t let him have the Bordeaux, ban this man!’

Piers and his co-host Susanna Reid spoke to Darren, who used to weigh 40 stone, and his personal trainer Mike during Tuesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain. 

Talking about the reason why he helped Dibsy on his weight loss journey, Mike said: ‘Each year, I take one person for free to try and change their life. I’d never met him, heard of him before, but when I saw him come into my company… 

‘I have never seen a human so big walk in as I did Dibsy that day. It was a difficult situation. Dibsy had a heart condition, he was 40st. I invited him down to see me with his mum.

‘She broke down in tears and said, “Please, I don’t want to bury my son.” It was life and death.’

In one method to help Dibsy, who was consuming 11,000 calories a day, Mike printed out leaflets and handed them out to local takeaways, which said: ‘Save Dibsy, obesity is killing him. Do not serve this man.’ 

Talking about the shock method, PT Mike said: ‘You [Dibsy] needed reality, he was life or death, he needed this.’

Success: Over the last year, Dibsy has lost a whopping 20 stone and even found love with his new girlfriend Jade, while the 27-year-old is planning to have four stone of excess skin removed and go down to 15-16 stone 

While Dibsy added: ‘We discussed it [the posters] all the way through, it is a harsh reality, but I needed to know that, I wouldn’t call that fat-shaming, I describe it as being supportive.’ 

He continued: ‘My ma is proud, my biggest achievement this year is that my mum doesn’t have to worry about us. The amount I put my mum through, I just think I was selfish.’
