Ricky has been putting in the hard yards in the gym after implementing a strict healthy living regime in a bid to shed the pounds.

"I thought, 'Oh my God, I'm going to die' so I decided to do something about it. Losing the weight wasn't a problem. I just decided I'd work out and slim down because I didn't want to die."
