Arg lost several stone and Ruddock was inspired by his journey so began to exercise, despite his bad ankles and knees.

Ruddock admitted he ballooned during the pandemic – despite finding out about a heart condition during an appearance on TV show Harry’s Heroes.

However, once he’d lost a bit of weight Ruddock, 55, was able to start going to the gym and began cycling and playing rounds of golf without the use of a buggy.

Most importantly he was able to break his self-termed “bad, sad, glad, mad syndrome”, where he would eat in response to any emotion he felt.

His new-found discipline has worked wonders as Ruddock now looks fit and healthy having shed several stone.

Wife Leah shared a photo on social media showing off the former defender’s new look and praised his effort.

She wrote: “Shout out to my amazing husband @RealRazor you are absolutely smashing it.”

Fans have also been blown away by the transformation and began showering praise on Ruddock.
