Shaun Williamson has lost one stone in weight as he prepares for Celebrity Fame Academy.
The actor - best known for his role as Barry in EastEnders - decided to get in shape because he didn't want to look foolish in the Academy's gruelling exercise classes.
"I've tried to lose some weight because I don't want to make a t*** of myself in the fitness class," Shaun told The Sun. "But I'll put it back on, don't get me wrong - I'm Fat Barry and that's that."
Asked if he is nervous about his performances being watched by millions of viewers, Williamson replied: "I'm more nervous about having to live in a house with other people!"
The show starts on BBC One next month.
