Back in May, Matt displayed his svelte new frame when he appeared on ITV’s Lorraine, after admitting to piling on the pounds during lockdown.
The comedian confessed to impressed host Lorraine Kelly, 61, that he’s ‘still got a bit of a tum’ after deciding it was time to shed weight.
As Lorraine remarked on his physique, Matt said: ‘I lost some weight, I needed to take the edge of, because I put on a lot of weight in lockdown. I’ve still got a bit of a tum.’
And as Matt remarked that he wasn’t yet a ‘Skinny Minnie’, Lorraine told the Little Britain star that he would look ‘daft’ if his weight dipped too much.

In April of last year, Matt admitted that he was keen to ‘get fitter’ during his time in quarantine, after feeling he had ‘put on a little bit of weight’.
Making the comment during another appearance on Lorraine, he said: ‘The one thing I need to do is get fitter, I have put on a little bit of weight, that’s my next challenge to do a bit more exercise.
‘I might have to make a game of it when I go out an exercise to stay out of people’s way. I don’t have a garden so I have to find a way to do that.’
Of working with his Little Britain co-star David again he said at the time: ‘We’ve got an idea. We haven’t written anything down yet, we haven’t pitched anything to anyone, but we do know what it is we want to do.’
