After fans suggested the star lost weight too quickly, he took to Twitter again, explaining: "You can actually see me gradually lose the weight over the 24 (episodes) of Season 7. Slowly, a pound every week or two. Watch the DVDs."
He added: "I really don't mean it to sound like 'Ha ha! Look what I have achieved!' but simply wanted to answer those who were asking."
