Instead, Shaun posed in just a pair of grey Hugo Boss Y-fronts to reveal his slimmed down physique.
He wrote alongside the surprising clip: "It's time to get down to the naked truth and see if I've lost any weight.
"Weight Down, confidence sky high. Thanks Jane Plan for making this all possible!"
His shocked followers were quick to comment, with one writing: "Seeing the Dark Destroyer in his underwear was certainly not on my bingo card. You look great, keep it up."
Another added: "Never be able to look at you in the same way now. Looking amazing."
A third joked: "Shaun i can see your dark destroyer x."
In the video, Shaun stepped on the scales and revealed he was down to 104.1kg, or 16 stone 3lbs.
Back in April, Shaun first revealed he was following in the footsteps of fellow Chaser Mark Labbett - who has lost an impressive 10 stone in recent years - and adopting a new health and fitness regime.
Posing topless in a towel, Shaun said: "End of the first week of the Jane Plan diet journey, let's see if I've lost weight..."
Shaun continued by standing on scales and revealing he'd managed to lose three kilos.

"I suppose I'm married to my career. Put it that way. I like that. I prefer that and I'm happier," the quizzer explained.
