Best known for his role as Corrie’s Jason Grimshaw, Ryan hit Ultimate Performance in Manchester with his brothers Scott from Love Island and Scott’s twin brother Adam from Emmerdale.

“I love setting myself goals,” Ryan told the Press Association. “I have always talked about doing something like this, but doing it together with my brothers made it a challenge and one we knew we’d find hard to back out of with each other’s support.”

All three now have bodies which have noticeably changed, but Ryan said he has also noticed changes to do with his well-being.

“The biggest change I’ve felt is in the confidence you find within yourself,” Ryan added. “I’d say this is especially true now when I go for meetings. It’s a case of healthy body, healthy mind – feeling good helps with mental preparation too.”

On the subject of his clothes, Ryan talked of a notable difference. “I haven’t dropped a clothing size, but clothes fit better and definitely feel better on now,” he stated.

At the start of the regime, Ryan weighed 13 stones and had 22.5% body fat. His final weight was just over 12 stones, but he had only 9.5% body fat.

“My diet has always fluctuated but, for me, being shown how to eat well and reduce carbs to lose body fat is something I really do think helped me to get trim.”

Ryan advised anyone wishing to undertake a similar transformation to “set a goal” and “put as much pressure on yourself as possible.”

“Another tip is, if you can train in the morning, the rest of the day is yours,” Ryan continued. “After training, you really do feel mentally set and good to go.

The father-of-one has a daughter with Tina O’Brien, his former Corrie partner on and off the screen. Ryan trains, but there have been occasions in the past when he has given the gym a miss.

“I enjoy it, but have found times where I’ve really let myself go, which makes it harder to get to where you want, physically.”

Nick Mitchell the CEO of personal training studio chain Ultimate Performance Fitness, said: “The fantastic thing about making your own body transformation is that the results of your commitment are there for you to see. If you’ve taken the easy path then we can see it. And if you’ve knuckled down, as Ryan Thomas especially demonstrates, then that hard work is writ large for the world to see.”
