He wrote:
“I still can’t believe how much I’d let myself go. That before pic is the result of just under two months of binge eating — beer, cakes and biscuits! The effect it had on my body, and more importantly my mind, was staggering.”

Paddy added that he would be sharing a full time-lapse of his 75-day journey on Monday, encouraging fans not to underestimate what is possible in a short space of time.
“It really is amazing what can be achieved in such a short period of time… if you’ve got the willpower,” he said.
“I thoroughly enjoyed taking on the Hard 75 challenge, and now I’m already on the lookout for the next one.”
He continued:
“Challenges like Hard 75 aren’t for everyone, but if you’ve got even an ounce of willpower, why not give something a whirl?”
It comes after Paddy and his ex-wife Christine spent Christmas together for the sake of their three children
The viral challenge, created in 2019 by US author and podcaster Andy Frisella, is designed to trigger both physical and mental transformations through five strict rules.
Participants must complete two 45-minute workouts every day, drink eight pints (4.5 litres) of water, cut out alcohol, stick to a healthy diet and read at least ten minutes of non-fiction daily.
The transformation comes after Paddy and his ex-wife Christine spent Christmas together for the sake of their three children, despite announcing their split in July 2022 after 11 years of marriage.
The former couple have remained on good terms and continue to live together in the family home while co-parenting their twins Penelope and Leo, 11, and their youngest daughter Felicity, seven.
Speaking ahead of the festive period, Paddy said:
“I feel for people who separate — it’s a tough experience for anyone. So if you can come out of it as friends and still do the best for your kids, that’s a bonus.”
When asked if they would spend Christmas Day together, he replied:
“Of course, because both of our families are our children’s relatives. Our children are always happy to see all of our family.”
