PADDY McGuinness has revealed his insanely ripped abs after taking part in an intense weight loss challenge.
The TV presenter, 52, showed off the incredible results of his body transformation over two months.
Paddy took part in a brutal 75-day programme, dubbed the Hard 75.
He told fans “I let myself go” – and posted a snap taken before the challenge which showed his bloated appearance.
But the next photo showed the former Top Gear host’s dramatic results – flexing a toned physique.
The intense regime, which was created in the US but has gone viral, involves participants hitting the gym twice a day, drinking up to eight pints of water a day and cutting alcohol completely.

Paddy, who completed the challenge in its entirety, admitted that brutal programmes like the Hard 75 “aren’t for everyone”, but claimed he “thoroughly enjoyed” the experience.
The dad-of-three revealed more information around the strict diet and fitness plan as he showed off his new toned body to his 2.2million Instagram followers.
In the post, Paddy wrote: “I still can’t believe how much I’d let myself go.
“That before pic is the result of just under two months of binge eating — beer, cakes, and biscuits!
“The effect it had on my body, and more importantly my mind, was staggering.”
Paddy appeared to have been fully engaged with the weight loss challenge, and revealed he took snaps daily during the challenge to track his progress.
He continued: “I’ll post the full 75-day picture time-lapse on Monday.
“It really is amazing what can be achieved in such a short period of time… if you’ve got the willpower.
“I thoroughly enjoyed taking on the Hard 75 challenge, and now I’m on the lookout for the next one!
“Challenges like Hard 75 aren’t for everyone, but if you’ve got even an ounce of willpower, why not give something a whirl?’”
His stunning results were applauded by his celeb pals and fans, who left their praises in the comments section.
Chart-topping singer Olly Murs commented: “Unreal mate”.
Celebrity Big Brother and Love Island star Chris Hughes also shared support, commenting: “Well done paddy”.
While RuPaul‘s Drag Race icon Michelle Visage praised the star’s before and after pics, as she wrote: “Both fit”.
Paddy’s body transformation follows his shock split from ex wife Christine McGuinness – who he admitted he’d be spending Christmas with.
The pair announced their separation back in July 2022 after eleven years of marriage.
The former couple have been open about their co-parenting journey since their split, and revealed they continue to reside together in their family home.
But Paddy previously told The Sun that he would be spending the festive period with ex Christine so they could both enjoy time with the kids.
Asked if they’d spend Christmas Day together, he replied: ‘Of course, because both of our families are our children’s relatives. Our children are always happy to see all of our family.’”
And reflecting on his co-parenting situation, he told us: “I feel for people who separate. Separations are a tough experience for anyone to go through.
“So if you can come out of it as friends and still get on and do the best for your kids, it’s a bonus.”
