Reflecting on his progress so for he said:
“All is working, I eat well, especially midweek, and I go to the gym 4/5 times a week. I am gearing up for the celebrity games and it’s looking good. I have been chosen to play for Hip Hop before but ended up being a coach. This time I will be on the field; I have already lost 6kg. Leading to the game I am sure I will have lost about 12kg; I’m working hard.
