Johnny Vegas has revealed the tragic death of his father Laurence pushed him to lose a staggering three stone in 15 months.

Speaking on Monday's This Morning, the 48-year-old comedian told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby it was one of his best decisions to speak out about the grief of losing his dad, as it inspired him to be a better parent to his own children by getting in shape.

He said: 'You go, 'I have responsibilities that are beyond me'...and it's my responsibility to carry on. 

'If you had a good parent and you miss them, your responsibility then is to hopefully try and be a decent parent to your own children - and be around. 

'The big thing is my smoking that I want to stop, but the last time I stopped I piled weight on. So I need to get light enough to exercise… it's taken 15 months of walking past bread, and cheese and everything I love!'

Candid: Speaking on Monday's This Morning he explained that he's lost three stone by 'ignoring bread and cheese'

Johnny went on to explain that he first bottled up the grief he suffered after his father passed away from terminal cancer, sharing praise for MacMillan hospice nurses who help him through his final days.

The star went onto say he was pledging his support for the charity's annual World's Biggest Coffee Morning, which is to take place this year on Saturday 29th September. 

He said: 'I always understood the work that they did but on a personal level when my dad fell ill, terminally ill, as a family it hit us really hard, and we needed someone to come in and help us process what was going on. 

'It was fairly quick… and we went into a tailspin and thank God they [Macmillan] came in. They explained everything. 

'The process of what's going to happen, the process of the illness, how you need to communicate with each other as a family… and I was grateful for their help in getting Dad into a hospice and explaining to my mum that keeping him at home isn't necessarily the best option.'

Open: The Benidorm star then explained that speaking out about his grief was the best decision he could have made, as he was inundated with support from fans

But he went onto explain that speaking out was one of the best decisions he's ever made, as he found himself inundated with support from people who had gone through similar experiences. 

'I don't honestly make a habit of coming on television - I don't promote myself by what's going on in my life personally - but I think the work they do is so vital that I am willing to come on and share things that I wouldn't normally share. 

'Purely because you need people to know that when you're going through this your biggest tendency is to shut down and you don't share, and it's the same with grief… but you need to open up and you need to let people in and let them help you.' 

'The feedback and just talking to people… grief for a lot of people feels unique and there are a lot of general feelings and stages and if you can, talk to people. Don't carry it around, it doesn't have to be your burden.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
