Towie’s Tommy Mallet reveals his ‘life was turned upside down’ after health scare
TOMMY Mallet has revealed his “life was turned upside down” after he was told he was at risk of developing type two diabetes.
The 29-year-old was left shocked by the prognosis despite being “healthy” and admitted he’s now on a mission to get his weight down.
He told the : “My whole world has been turned upside down the last week to be honest with you. It is mad. I did a 360 test with blood tests and I am at risk of type 2 diabetes. I am really healthy.
“But with covid, I started eating a bit of sugar because I can't taste anything, and it seems to have got the better of me. I have been working really hard this last week, trying really hard to get my weight down.”
Tommy admitted that it might be trickier than he anticipated though, because his son Brody has been poorly.
He explained: “I have seen a top nutritionist so I am working on it but the baby has the flu and he has been crying all night. I have been up all night with him. So it is a bit of a warzone to be honest with you.”
