Despite the temptation surrounding Matt Lucas while filming for The Great British Bake Off, the star has shed an incredible amount of weight over two years.
And despite beginning this journey due to being body-shamed at a football game, Matt still gets hate for his body - just in a different format. As reported by Leicestershire Live, Matt took to social media to describe the first 'thin-shaming' event he had ever experienced.

Writing on Twitter, Matt said: "Shout out to the lady who stopped me at football today to ask me why I've lost weight and to inform me I look a lot older. For the first time in my life, I think I've just been thin-shamed."
Discussing with Scottish television host Lorraine Kelly, Matt went into detail on how he shed the weight during the pandemic. The 48-year-old said: "I've lost some weight, I needed to take the edge off, because I put on a lot of weight in lockdown.
"I've still got a bit of a tum, I've got a little bit of a tum, I'm not a skinny minnie."
Matt also revealed that he was keen to "get fit" after he realised he was piling on the pounds during lockdown, but still feels he has a long way to go. He added: "The one thing I need to do is get fitter, I have put on a little bit of weight, that's my next challenge to do a bit more exercise.
"I might have to make a game of it when I go out and exercise to stay out of people's way. I don't have a garden so I have to find a way to do that."
He also noted that keeping the weight off was difficult, but he had a tip that maybe not everyone can have at their disposal so easily - a live-in personal trainer. Matt's housemate Jamie, is a "personal trainer extraordinaire" according to the Bake Off presenter.
