COMIC Michael McIntyre has admitted turning to fat jabs after his doctor told him he was obese.
The 5ft 5ins star said wife Kitty ordered him to start after the medic ticked him off for being 100kg (15st 10lbs).
McIntyre, 49, said he first used Ozempic before switching to Mounjaro and the weight dropped off in only three weeks of injections.
The dad of two, who has long struggled with his weight, made the admission to an audience in London.
He joked: “Have you noticed how tiny I am? I have lost weight.
“Don’t applaud it because there is a little bit of cheating that has gone on.”

McIntyre who once lost 7kg (14lbs) at a £2,000-a-week clinic, confessed that he did not want to use appetite suppressants but Kitty insisted.
He also blamed his problem on eating his kids’ leftovers.
On his trip to the GP, he told fans: “The doctor told me I weighed 100kg.
“He told me I was ‘obese’. How rude. He said, ‘It’s a medical term’.”
McIntyre, whose new series of The Wheel started last night on BBC One, also declared that his weight-loss success will “fall apart” if he ever eats something sweet again.
Other stars who have admitted taking fat jabs include Jeremy Clarkson, 65, James Corden, 47, and US model Chrissy Teigen, 39.
