Simon Cowell jokes he will release a fitness DVD with David Walliams.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ boss has stunned fans after dropping 20lbs – which he has credited to a new vegan diet on the expert advice of a doctor in Los Angeles – and he teased the possibility of teaming up with his fellow judge to share his secrets.
Appearing on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’ this week, David – who says he’s also "lost a tiny bit of weight" – cheekily quipped: "Are you doing a workout video?"
Simon laughed: "I could do one with you, yeah."
Their comments come after the 59-year-old media mogul was forced to deny claims he had a gastric band fitted to help with the weight loss.
He recently said: "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."
Instead, Simon listened to an expert as a doctor sought to change his "appalling" diet.
He explained: "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.
"I could see the difference. Cutting out sugar made a massive difference. The first few weeks were difficult, but then I actually stopped craving sugar.
"I had also found a brilliant gluten-free beer, which helps."
The talent show judge admitted the most difficult part of his lifestyle changes come from watching his five-year-old son Eric snacking on tasty treats he’s decided to cut out.
He said: "The hardest part is when I see Eric eat pizza in front of me. That’s really tough."
Simon had previously ditched junk food and adopted a vegan diet following a health scare almost two years ago when he fell down the stairs at home in the middle of the night.
He said at the time: "I cut out a lot of the stuff I shouldn’t have been eating and that was primarily meat, dairy, wheat, sugar — those were the four main things."
