Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock’s ‘life saved’ as he sheds 7 stone following gastric sleeve surgery

“[I was] just sitting on my backside at home getting bigger and bigger,” he revealed.

Lamenting his lockdown boredom, Neil added: “I was eating loads and loads of takeaways, making bacon sandwiches just for something to do.

“It really didn’t help when they brought out Uber Deliveries, I was getting ice cream delivered from Co-op… it’s f****** madness!” he exclaimed in an interview published by the Daily Mail.

He added that he was in fear for his life at the time when, by a stroke of “fate”, he met James at a football match and admired his post-surgery body.
