“My colleague Paul Sinha also got the diagnosis and lost two stones quickly and went from being diabetic to pre- or non-diabetic.
“I still eat well – I’m just cutting out sugar because of Type 2 diabetes.”
He said: “The big secret, which someone told me is common to all obese people, is that they don’t eat breakfast.
“I’m now eating breakfast and making the point of sitting down with my kids, eating breakfast and starting the day off well.”
Mark was also previously on Sugar Free Farm last year, where he revealed that he had missed an opportunity to appear on I’m A Celebrity due to a lack of food on the show.
Mark is best known for his role on The Chase.

Mark said: “I was asked to do the jungle but the basic calorie level is around 700. Check me out! If I lived a week I would drop three stones and the cards would be cannibalism.
“On Sugar Free Farm the weight fell on me because I couldn’t eat enough. Does ‘The Chase’ really need me? Put it this way, every time I start losing weight because I do fitness kick whatever, the reps pass me by and give me a second serving of strawberries. “
