Radio DJ Chris Moyles has said he struggles with body dysmorphia.

The 46-year-old opened up about the ‘issues’ he faces with the condition which means you cannot stop thinking about perceived flaws that cannot be seen by other people.

"Before lockdown, Monday, Wednesday, Friday I would do the show we would have a quick meeting... and then I'd get to the gym and I'd train 11-12 or 11-1, depending on how fat I was feeling. I'm feeling really fat at the moment," he told Ross Kemp’s podcast ‘The Kempcast’.

"I'm fascinated by body dysmorphia because I really have an issue with body dysmorphia, which I think most people do. I've lost six stone from my worst weight when I was 18 stone!

"I know my body really well now, and I'm still learning. I don't have the metabolism of an 18-year-old girl or boy, I just don't.

"I will, and people don't believe me, but I weigh myself six days a week, and I know you shouldn't and I know it's not for everyone, but I do that so I can learn about how my body works.

"I will train Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and I will watch what I eat and I'll eat very little. I do intermittent fasting and I'll eat at 6:30PM or 7PM and I'll be fine. I need to do that from the weekends that I have."

He went on to discuss how he was fired from BBC Radio One.

Moyles hosted the Breakfast Show from 2004 to 2012 before being replaced by Nick Grimshaw, subsequently seeing him land on Radio X.

"I was a bit miffed that the story that went out was that I was too old and I had got fired. I knew I wasn’t going to be doing that show for ever. I thought they handled it really badly," he added.

"Then when [Grimshaw's] show failed and the listening figures fell, I was like, ‘Not that f-ing easy, is it boys?’

"Not aimed at Nick but at Radio 1 in general. The show lost a million-and-a-half almost overnight. They didn’t get them back!"
