"That lasted about two weeks before she decided 'Actually Mark, look at your belly - you need the exercise!'"
"I was walking him around the fields, taking me places... I think he's helped a lot, simply because I'm doing more activity."
Mark opened up about his weight loss during an appearance on Loose Women in November last year.
