Shrinking Mark

Mark Benton is the latest celebrity to endorse the Strictly weight-loss plan. Training for the show has helped him shed two stone.

UnrealityTV reports that Mark told The Sun: “I’ve lost three or four stone this year, at least two since I started Strictly. It’s wonderful. I’d say to anybody, if you want to get fit, go and dance.”

Like Lisa Riley last year, he is causing headaches for the costume department: “They have to keep an eye on the costume. My gold top from week four had to be taken in because it was too big.”
