Johnny Vegas reveals he made himself look thinner with photo-editing app in recent Twitter post... despite already losing over four stone in weight
He shocked fans earlier this year when he posted a selfie of a dramatically slimmed down appearance.
But Johnny Vegas, 48, has revealed he used a photo editing app to create the snap.
The comedian, whose real name is Michael Pennington, has been on a health kick as of late and has shed over four stone from his prior weight of 18 stone.

While appearing on the Sunday Brunch with his Death On The Tyne co-star Sian Gibson, who jokingly accused him of sucking in his cheeks for the photo.
He said: 'No I didn't! I used an app, joking, and I posted it. It did look a bit shocking. It did look like I should be in a TB (Tuberculosis) hospital.'
Johnny shared the altered snap on his Twitter account alongside a healthy breakfast of egg and avocados.

'So glad I went for the healthy option now. Guinness IS good for you.'
Johnny previously told how some of his weight loss was a result of his father Laurence Pennington passing away last year after a battle with cancer.
Speaking on This Morning, he said: 'It’s the thing with grief and you can tell yourself it’s your responsibility to carry on.
'If you’ve got a good parent and you miss them, then it’s your responsibility to be a good parent to your own children and be around.
'And my big thing that I’m completely honest about is my smoking and I want to stop. I’ve lost weight.'
