Overview
- Speaking at an In Conversation With event hosted by Sara Cox at The Lowry, Kay discussed his long struggle with food and weight.
- He said he had spent the first 48 years of his life trying to lose weight and had joined groups including Slimming World and WeightWatchers.
- He described slipping out of a cinema during a film with his wife to buy a hot dog, seeing his reflection, binning it, then grabbing it back and eating it.
- He traced his eating habits to childhood, recalling his mother bringing pies to his primary school and hiding biscuits at home.
- The event raised money for The Lily Foundation, and Kay’s remarks follow his recent return to performing, where he has appeared noticeably slimmer.
