He said: “I didn’t think I was a chocoholic until I realised my occasional treat had become an everyday habit.

“The photoshoot was a lot of fun, I must admit I ate quite a lot of the chocolate props along the way!”

“For self-confessed chocoholics like me, March is not going to be easy with Easter pending but the money raised will help the British Heart Foundation fund more research to help the millions of people fighting a daily battle with heart disease.”
