Lenny has managed to shed three stone over the years
Lenny, who plays Sadoc in Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power, first began to shed the pounds in 2014.
The star revealed that he was a “little bit diabetic”, so had to cut back on certain foods and alcohol.
He’s gone on to shed three stone.
Speaking exclusively to The Celeb Report about how he keeps in shape, he said: “I try to work and go to the gym and eat healthy and do what everyone else does but when I’m working and writing I get so consumed by it so I do try.”
Back in March Comic Relief viewers stunned by Lenny’s dramatic weight loss as he returned to host the charity show.
The 63-year-old founded the charity in 1985 with screenwriter Richard Curtis in response to a huge famine in Ethiopia, Africa.
He has been presenting the BBC show ever since – and tonight returned showing off his new look.
One viewer said: “3 things I noticed as #comicrelief started. 1) Lenny Henry has lost LOADS of weight. 2) Alisha Dixon appears to be wearing her trousers back to front. 3) David Tennant is much shorter than I thought.”
Someone else added: “You know when you’ve not seen someone for ages and you don’t recognise them , I just did that with Lenny Henry.”
Another said: “Wow Lenny Henry looks amazing.”
A fan added: “Bloody hell Lenny Henry looks incredible!”
Lenny previously revealed what eats to lose weight.
He told The Mirror in 2018: “Well, it’s eating broccoli and not much else. I’ve also been running a lot. It has worked.”
He went on to lose three stone, telling fans: “Well, it’s down to eating broccoli and not much else. I’ve also been running a lot. It has worked.”
Lenny added: “I’m a bit diabetic, so I was put on a very strict diet.
