‘It started at school and, like a lot of men, it is one part of my life that I lack confidence in.
‘For guys, fitness is often associated to perceptions of their own masculinity. I was always skinny, and I think being gay added to my feelings and the challenges in my head.
‘Now, I have never felt so happy. It’s not just the way I look – the real success to me is how I feel. I’m so energised and confident. I’ve been feeding my body the best diet there is, and my body is thanking me for it. Health, happiness and fitness is for everyone.’

Bobby made the change after revealing in April he had decided to take a brief break from social media after facing homophobic abuse online.
The TOWIE star, who is currently in a relationship with boyfriend Matt, admitted he signed off the platform after receiving both death and acid attack threats for being gay.
Last year, Bobby created the End The Trend To Troll campaign, which led to talks in Downing Street, the House of Commons and Parliament.

Admitting he received backlash for his efforts, the presenter shared: ‘It ironically made so many trolls come for me because I think they thought, “oh hold on a minute, if he does something about this, you’re gonna ruin our fun”.
‘So I kind of put myself on the line and got trolled more than I was before because I was trying to end it, which I guess is kind of ironic!
‘I got such bad death threats, I was told there was people outside my house that were gonna stab me with eleven inch machetes and throw acid in my face. And this is all because of my sexuality. I mean it’s 2020 guys, come on.
‘The thing is, you can troll me ’til I’m old and grey, like 94-years-old. I’m a gay man. Your trolling isn’t gonna make me go to bed tonight and wake up straight in the morning!’
