“But we obviously have like loads of the sport drinks have got lot of calories in them, and I only really drink water and coffee now.
“So I don't know, I think just less calories and probably loss of muscle.
"I've lost about 11, 12 pounds. It's a lot. I was expecting the opposite to happen. It's about five kilos, yeah.”

He said: “I'm obviously getting to practise a lot more than the average person.
“I obviously played a bit when I was younger, and if I can get the right sort of lessons and practise the right things, then yeah, I've got a chance of doing that I think in a couple years.
“Will you the lessons have made a huge difference. That's been the most important thing for me. I used to go down to the range and hit lots of balls, and I could hit a few good ones.
“But if you have a fundamental flaw in your swing or what you're doing, it doesn't matter how many balls you hit on the range. So getting lessons and practising those things is helping.”
