In his openly written post, the model stated: "This year I wanted to finally get control of my health again."

Jamie made clear that he made the changes in his habits so he could be live a more active lifestyle with his daughter Nelly, and that he had ‘no issue’ with body image when he initially gained the weight.
He continued: "However now I’m a parent I notice all of the things that are made more difficult by not being at a healthier weight! I had aches and pains and found playing with nell to be a struggle at times and that was not how I saw things going when I became a dad.
