Antony, 36, decided to make significant changes to his diet and fitness regime, and revealed the results on today's Lorraine.
He said: "I feel on top of the world Lorraine, I feel a different person, just half of me."
When Lorraine said he looked younger now he'd lost the weight, Antony replied: "It was just my posture and the way I was standing so I was just not happy with myself.
"My posture has got better, I feel great and I'm ready to take on the world."

Antony has documented his weight loss in new show Get a Holiday Body, and said he liked exercising outdoors as he suffered from a bit of gym phobia.
He explained: "I used to get intimidated in the gym because of how I felt.
"Doing stuff outside, anyone can do it, go for a walk, go for a little run.
"It's all about prepping your meals too."
