Home and Away star James Stewart has opened the lid on his incredible 12kg weight loss. James told The Daily Telegraph on Monday that he weighs 101 kilograms at his heaviest, having turned to food as a source of comfort during the Covid lockdowns.

He continued that swapping pasta in spaghetti bolognese for zucchini made a huge difference.

He added that “no grog at all” was also difficult, and that he had to tell himself “bar is closed” to get fit again.

‘I want to be at 90 kg. I think 90 is healthy – then I can show my kid that maybe I don’t have an eight-pack – but having a six-pack is fine,” he joked.
