The 46-year-old shared a video highlighting his impressive body transformation after “struggling with weight” over a number of years.
Admitting he “didn’t want” to post the video, Marcus opined how “it’s really important to share all sides of life to social media.”
He captioned: “Being a chef and surrounded by food all my life has had its perks , but my fitness levels and body have changed so much over the years.
“And I’ve especially struggled with my weight over the last 5-6 years.
“The combination of long hours in the kitchen or at shows, stress, money worries, not feeling good enough, the list goes on.
“November 2024 I wasn’t happy, life was busy and stressful as always, which I’m very thankful for.
“I’d had both my knees operated on in the space of a year. I hadn’t been able to run and had completely lost any motivation.
“December 2024 I decided it had to change, I had London marathon 2025 coming up and had to sort myself out just to get over the finish line.
“I kept it simple aimed to run 3 miles a day, trying to do this 3-4 days a week, I also combined the running with a few body weight exercises to increase my strength.”
He added: “It’s taken time, and after 7 months I’m starting to feel proud of what I’ve achieved so far. I don’t have a PT, I don’t have a nutritionist, I’ve just created my only little plan, eating better as much as possible, upping my protein and reducing my carbs.
“One thing I don’t do is diet, I also don’t weigh myself, just use my clothes and how they fit as a measure of progress.”
Marcus explained he went through this process in order to “make better choices when possible around work and everyday life.”
Continuing, the TV chef shared he is “feeling proud” over his admirable accomplishments.
One fan commented: “Superb chef, well done.”
Biggest Celebrity Weight Loss Transformations
Gemma Collins – TOWIE diva Gemma has been very honest and open about her fluctuating weight. Earlier this year, the star opened up to The Sun about her latest weight loss in which she revealed she had begun taking weight loss jabs in a bid to be a size 16 by summer 2025. “I can’t believe I’ve finally found something that works,” Gemma told us. I’ve lost nearly two stone already and it’s been completely effortless – I don’t even want to eat anymore! I got on the scales and lost something like 6kg in my first week. I bet my house by May, I’ll have six stone off. And it’s been effortless. I’ve struggled for many, many years to lose weight… All my life… I tried everything.”
Shaun Wallace – Best known for being The Dark Destroyer on ITV quiz show The Chase, Shaun has also been on a body transformation. Earlier this month, he revealed he had been able to drop the pounds thanks to the Jane Plan diet. Speaking in a video recorded in his bathroom, Shaun said: “End of the first week of the Jane Plan diet journey, let’s see if I’ve lost weight…” Shaun continued by standing on scales and revealing he’d managed to lose three kilos. The quiz titan captioned his post: “It’s weigh in time! I’ve lost 3 kilos!! Keeping up with my Jane Plan diet.”

Chantelle Houghton – The Celebrity Big Brother winner has seen her weight balloon over the years before managing to get a trimmed-down figure once more. However, Chantelle previously told The Sun how she did not step foot in the gym once to overhaul her look. “I genuinely didn’t exercise, I didn’t go to the gym, I didn’t do anything apart from cut sugar out, and the weight just started to drop off of me,” she said. “It just goes to show how unhealthy sugar is.” Chantelle lost 5st as a result of cutting out sugar.
Another added: “Well done! I bet it took a lot of will power at first.”
