He then followed that up with a victory at the 2005 World Matchplay.

However, Lloyd has admitted to being left with feelings of what could have been, putting his health issues down as a huge detriment to his career.

Speaking to the Essex Daily Gazette Standard, Lloyd opened up on how his performance levels would tank by the third day of a tournament.

He revealed: “If it was a Friday, Saturday, Sunday competition, then I was no good for man nor beast on a Sunday.

“I just had nothing left – it would be a washout, and I would be in the car at 2.30pm after the competition had started at 12.00.

“I was mentally strong – very mentally strong – but physically if I was able to play more I would have been winning more.

“Hindsight is a wonderful thing… it’s too late now.”

Indeed, before he began his transformative fitness regime, Lloyd once weighed a staggering 20 stone.

But it was during the coronavirus pandemic that the 49-year-old realised he desperately needed to make a change.

He said: “I was diabetic and I was stuck at home – I would normally be out and about but instead I was stuck in the house and the garden.

“It was absolutely killing me – I was just eating and drinking and I thought ‘this ain’t right’.

“I started doing a bit of running, walking, running, walking, and I had lost a bit of weight, but I started creeping back into my old ways.”

After joining a fitness class called Tone to the Bone, instructed by Coralie Mariaux, Lloyd went on to shed a whopping seven stone and get his weight down to 13st 7lbs.

Heading there three times a week, Lloyd was full of praise for the class’ impact on his life, adding: “I don’t think Coralie realises how much of a difference she has made.

“I never thought I could run a parkrun, let alone go out for a 10k – never in a million years did I think I could do that.

“Coralie works her butt off for Tone to the Bone – all we have to do is turn up, because she sorts everything.

“We have a lot of the old ‘yada yada yada,’ and all we do is the session – she then goes home and sends us all the videos from the class.

“That’s another reason why I love going – they’re a great bunch of people.”
