I reckon he's one of these finger-wagging reformed drinkers who can't stop banging on about his abstinence to friends who've not abused booze and can still happily have a glass or two without needing to sink the whole bottle. They're a particularly unpleasant and sanctimonious breed.”
The ex-drinker is only out-smugged (I do realise that is not a word

) by the ex-smoker.
I look forward to the day that Biggins loses enough weight to feel confident enough to part company with that hideous yellow jacket, which he wears every time he is on the show.
The yellow jacket is to Biggins as the cat earrings are to Christine Hamilton.
If he drank a significant amount of alcohol, then I applaud him for stopping. It will improve his health, even with the extra poundage he is carrying.
Perhaps it'll be a start to taking better care of his health all round.
