He wrote alongside the surprising clip: "It's time to get down to the naked truth and see if I've lost any weight.

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."

Aldi slashes the price of its outdoor furniture by £75, and shoppers are calling the deal ‘madness'
WITH some now in full force, millions of Brits are rushing to enjoy the glorious weather outdoors. But if your garden could do with some TLC, you may wish to plan a trip to the nearest Aldi, where thrifty shoppers have spotted an epic deal. 2 The popular discount store has long been the go-to for many cash-savvy Brits when it comes to food - and the German retailer has now also stepped up its garden range. According to one fan of the supermarket, Aldi has slashed the price of stunning outdoor furniture - and you can save a whopping £75. Taking to Facebook to inform fellow bargain-mad shoppers about the epic deal, Chris Thomson revealed that Aldi is now selling an outdoor furniture set for a mere £24.99. The set - which includes two gorgeous chairs to relax in, as well as a smaller table - was originally going for an eye-watering £100. The stylish chairs come with light grey cushions that are ideal for providing that extra comfort when you're enjoying your morning coffee outdoors - or soaking up the sun whilst reading. The light grey style goes perfectly with the mini table, which is large enough for an outdoor candle and a bottle of your favourite tipple. If you want an extra pop of colour, you could also chuck on some bright patterned cushions - or a vibrant throw to keep you toasty during the chilly evenings. Given the epic price, it's advised to best race to the local Aldi as soon as possible to avoid disappointment on missing out. However, it's worth remembering that each location has varying stock - so some Aldi stores may not have this bargain. In his post, Chris revealed that he had bagged the gorgeous buy in Carlisle. I was quoted over $13k for my backyard garden renovation - but I did it myself with ChatGPT and saved over $11,000 At just £24.99, Aldi's cut-price version is significantly cheaper than at rival stores, where similar versions could cost you hundreds more. John Lewis shoppers, for instance, will have to fork out an eye-watering £299 - while furniture retailer Daals is charging customers an astronomical £729.

BREAKING NEWS Charges dropped against actor arrested on set of hit TV show Rivals
Charges have been dropped against an actor who was arrested while filming on the set of Rivals. Nigel Adams, 45, was arrested by Avon and Somerset Police at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire on June 4. He was later charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm against his long-term partner Louise Payne in an incident on March 31 of this year. Mr Adams and Ms Payne attended Bristol Crown Court on Monday morning for a plea and trial preparation hearing. The actor, from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, pleaded not guilty to the charge. Christine Hart, prosecuting, said she would be offering no evidence against Mr Adams. Ms Hart said: 'Subsequent to the case being charged, there is a statement by Ms Payne. 'She is here at court today, she sits in the public gallery. 'She has made it clear she didn't wish to proceed with the case. I have spoken to her at length, as has the officer in charge. 'Taking into account the evidence already in the case and that statement, the only option I have is to offer no evidence on the outstanding count.' Judge William Hart told the court he would formally enter a not-guilty verdict in the case. The judge told Mr Adams: 'A not-guilty verdict, you are free to leave, thank you.' Mr Adams was arrested by officers from Avon and Somerset Police who attended the set of the Disney+ show in Gloucestershire on June 4. Rivals, starring David Tennant, Danny Dyer and Emily Atack, is based on the Dmae Jilly Cooper novel of the same name. Speaking outside court, Mr Adams and Ms Payne told the PA news agency they were grateful the case had been dropped. Mr Adams, describing his arrest, said: 'They turned up on set and nicked me like I was a wanted man on the run. 'Now I can get back with my agent and get back on Rivals, hopefully. I still have the costume.' He added: 'I'm grateful everything has been sorted. We just want to get on with our lives.' Mr Adams and Ms Payne have been engaged for seven years and are now looking forward to getting married. Ms Payne said: 'I didn't want to press charges from the beginning. I had to come to court to say I didn't want to go ahead with it. I'm happy it's all sorted.'
