In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Gavin & Stacey star James, 43 - who was recently made a WW ambassador - opens up about how he did it.

“I don’t eat until 12,” he explains, sipping a vile 15-calorie, sugar-free, vitamin-laden health drink.

“I have a trainer who I box with most mornings, and so far today I’ve had an apple.  I try to eat healthily and not deprive myself.

“The notion of going on a diet is everything that is wrong because at some point you are going to revert.

“It’s like Dry January — it’s brilliant if you give up booze for January but  in the back of your mind you’re like, ‘Well, in February I’m going to have a drink’."

And, revealing the reason why he decided to work with WW, formerly Weight Watchers, James added: "You don’t have to cut anything out. It’s just  being aware of what you are putting in your body, trying not to eat things that have too many ingredients.  

"I just really enjoy it [Weight Watchers]. You don’t beat yourself up if you have a bad week — you just don’t revert back to eating Quavers at midnight.”

James also recenrly completed a four-day transcendental meditation course. Which allows devotees to “settle the body down to a state of restful alertness”.

He expands: “I have started doing transcendental meditation. I went to see a guy. I’d highly recommend it.

“You do a course, then at the end of it you have these tools where, every day, you give yourself 20 minutes of silence to let your thoughts be whatever they are, and I’ve found that very, very beneficial.

“I don’t consider it to be something particular to LA but I really enjoy it.

“Normally if I have a spare 20 minutes, I’ll be on my phone, I’ll be watching something, and that’s it — now I do this. It’s great.”
