The former ITVBe regular told MailOnline he hated everything about his slim body, despite often baring it all for the Essex series while wearing his famous thong on the beach, which barely disguised his modesty.

But behind the scenes, Bobby struggled with his body image and felt viewers viewed him as ‘weak’ and ‘vulnerable’, while his castmates, including James Lock and Dan Edgar, showed off their muscular physiques while filming abroad in Marbella.

Now that he’s overcome his fear of gyms, quit smoking and monitored his alcohol consumption, Bobby says he’s gone from “bean sprouts” to a man he’s “proud” of.

He said: ‘I’ve never been a gym person, and anyone who’s seen me on TV in the last ten years knows I’ve never been one of those guys who’s been muscular.

If I’m honest, I used to be Bobby bean sprouts. I was afraid of walking into a gym, and I built a phobia in my mind because you see all these beautiful bodies on social media and gym guys… I always thought it was okay when they walked into a gym, because they already look good.
