James said to The Sun, in a fresh interview that he was at the edge of his death but had not listened when doctors warned him.

The coronavirus pandemic caused him to be housebound by his asthma, and he also admitted that he weighed 27 stones.

Patricia was shocked to see her son’s ‘unrecognisable face’ after his addiction to cocaine led him to eat unhealthy food.

James felt exhausted from his binging on high-calorie food and decided that he would be staying home more often. She found James in bed one afternoon and started crying.

He confessed that he could have become a gor and that he knew he had to do something.

The surgery saw 70 percent of his stomach was removed in the £10,000 operation, which now means he must not drink liquid half an hour before or after eating, with his much-loved fizzy drinks prohibited.

He stated, “If I drink water right before I have a meal, it will sit above my stomach and make it worse. If I consume too much it could cause me to get sick.”

Now, the reality TV star swears by eating only vegetables, chicken salad and fish. Multivitamins are added to his daily diet.

In addition to this, he is using his gym membership, which he uses for five sessions per week of boxing, weight training and swimming.
