Larger-than-life US comedy performer Steve Daly has a message for overweight Brits from the fattest nation on earth in Fat Man’s Warning . But with Britain sitting on an obesity time bomb, Steve’s message is no laughing matter.

At 46, and weighing in at 30 stone, he’s morbidly obese and has nearly died from heart failure - twice. But before Steve embarks upon a radical weight loss programme he’s agreed to come to the UK for two weeks to use his body as a weapon to warn us Brits that we need to watch our weight.
