Jeremy Clarkson has shed two stone eating small portions of lettuce.
The ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ host took inspiration from Queen Elizabeth’s diet to slim down, and he much prefers sipping on rose wine to downing pints of lager nowadays.
The 59-year-old TV presenter said: "The queen doesn’t go to the gym and she doesn’t run and she’s 93 and she’s all right.
"Apparently she only has a forkful, she only has a tiny bit, that’s what I’ve heard. She’ll sit down and just have one little bit of mousse and bit of a lettuce leaf."
While he may not need the prize money as much as some others, Jeremy admits he would still find it tough if he was the one being asked a £1 million question on the quiz show.
And the former ‘Top Gear’ presenter insists he doesn’t splash his cash if he doesn’t need to.
He added to The Sun newspaper: "I’m from Yorkshire, and Yorkshire people never ever lose the value of a pound. Ask anyone who knows me – I’m still, ‘How much?’
"My great-grandfather once stood in front of Harrods, and he was a wealthy man, very Northern, and he went, ‘I could afford to buy Âeverything in that window, but I’m not going to’ – and I operate on that principle as well.
"I’ve got a 12-year-old Range Rover and I live in a two-bedroom cottage."
Earlier this year, Jeremy admitted he had lost weight thanks to cycling – but picked up a number of injuries because of his bike.
He said: "I went on a gap year to Indochina. They just have a better diet out there.
"Plus I had a bicycle rather than a car.
"Cycling is not a good thing to do, I’m all broken as a result of it but I did lose a lot of weight.
"Where I was staying was separated from the small town by a mountain.
"It was only three kilometres and I cycled every day."
