"I turned to Ash because I knew I was either going to have to do something about my weight or things were going to get way, way worse," Jordan told The Mirror. "Ash was brilliant. He helped me rethink my diet and put together a workout routine. The weight came off pretty quickly."

Ashley was also there to help his younger brother on the right path when he became too obsessed with losing weight and plummeted down to just 12 stone.
