Former footballer Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock looked unrecognisable as she proudly showed off his jaw-dropping weight loss and revealed he felt ‘on top of the world’

Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock has proudly showed off his staggering weight loss and shared his new clothing size.

The former footballer looked over the moon as he posed before jetting out to Spain less than two years after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery to aid his weight loss. Neill, 55, has previously spoken candidly about his struggles and revealed that his eating and drinking habits spiralled out of control.

Earlier this year, he revealed that he’d lost seven stone after his surgery had been a success. The Celebrity Big Brother legend joked that his weight loss had also aided his manhood in ways he never imagined possible.

In a fresh picture, Neil posed in the kitchen of his home alongside his small suitcase. In the image, Neil could be seen rocking a Ralph Lauren polo shirt as he flashed a smile towards the camera while showcasing his slimmed-down frame. Captioning his upload, Neil penned: “Morning people, I’m off to Alicante for a few days for work.

“Looking incredible Razor well done for the continued hard work fella,” said a fifth. Another one of Neil’s followers penned: “You look great, Razor. Thanks for all the memories and here’s to you giving us countless more memories. Onwards and upwards, mate.” Addressing his weight loss on Twitter last month, Neil said: “I can’t remember the last time I got a suit where I was a 46. Feeling very proud of myself today.

“For those that have struggled over the years, if I can do this you can too, I promise you. 10 stone and counting. This is the best I have felt since I was playing.” The star who had a pacemaker fitted after he reached 27 stone previously said he often lived off takeaways and barely left the house during lockdown.

He told the Daily Star: “I was on a Deliveroo diet. Doctors had told me I had a bad knee and needed to get to the gym, but I had the perfect argument against everything they tried to get me to do. My pacemaker was fine, and my bloods kept coming back fine, so I was always like, ‘F**k it, I’ll get to it another time’. Then Covid came and it made me lazier and lazier – sitting on my backside ordering food all day… it was heaven!

“You could order McDonald’s so it was Big Macs, and Sunday came and you could order a roast. I had got big into ciders and would eat two bacon or egg sandwiches every morning. But it spiralled out of control. My portion sizes were massive – I could eat four times as much as anyone else, and I’m just one of those unlucky people that balloon.”
