‘I’ve started getting a new wardrobe’ Stuart Bingham reveals drastic measure behind his three-stone weight loss


STUART BINGHAM admits he has shed three stone in weight after taking weekly fat-loss injections.

The 2015 world snooker champion has gone down to a 34-inch waist size in trousers after taking prescription medication drugs that essentially suppress appetite for food.

Bingham, 48, cut a much slimmer figure when he was whitewashed 10-0 by Neil Robertson in the final of the World Grand Prix last weekend.

And upon his return to the UK, Ball Run said it was all down to the impact of using a Mounjaro self-injectable pen routinely over the past five months.

Speaking on his podcast, the snooker world No20 said: “For the first couple of months I was saying, I’ve cut out food and this and that.

“As I’m coming up to 49, the legs and knees ain’t what they used to be. The back ain’t what it used to be.

“A few of my close friends said to me about getting on this Mounjaro pen. It’s a weight-loss injection.

“I have lost about three stones. I have already started to get a new wardrobe.

“My brother was a little bit bigger than me but he has gone into training. He does weightlifting and cardio.

“All my stuff is too big for him now. He was getting all my hand-me-downs.

“I played golf in Thailand. I went from 38 inches to 34 in my shorts. It’s just one injection a week.

“What it does is curb your appetite. I’m actually forgetting to eat.


“Whereas before I would get everything done around my snooker. I’d eat at 3pm, if I am playing at 7pm, so I wasn’t bloated.

“I’m forgetting I have got to eat something. Because my belly is rumbling like anything when I am playing matches.

“I am aiming a little bit differently (with my cue). I ain’t got bigger breasts as I used to have. The cue is in a different spot.

“I’m down to 15 stone now. I was about 16 years old the last time I was 15 stone!

“My wife Michelle has started on it, too, and she has seen the results. She wants to lose a couple of stone.

“I had started to tell everyone I was on it when I was in Hong Kong. People were asking, ‘How have you done it?’”

Snooker is only a game. When you are young, you go to weddings… but the older you get, it turns to funerals.


Stuart Bingham

Bingham is praying for revenge against Robertson when they meet in the first round of the Players Championship in Telford on Tuesday afternoon.

The last thing he will want is another whitewash defeat, especially at the hands of the same player.

It was an emotional run in the Far East because privately he was mourning the loss of three people close to him.

His long-serving snooker coach Joe Lazarus – an octogenarian – as well as the mum of one of his closest pals and his wife’s uncle all passed away in recent weeks.

There was also the tragic news that the dad of snooker ace Jack Lisowski recently died.

Bingham said: “It just shows you however tough snooker is, it’s only a game.

“Life is more important. When you are young, you go to weddings and things like that.

“But the older you get, it turns to funerals. All the friends and family through life. You have got to be there for them.”
