Gregor Fisher Says Weight Loss After Diabetes Diagnosis Has Made Him Less Recognisable

The 72-year-old says he enjoys being less recognised following doctor‑advised weight loss.

Overview

  • In a BBC Scotland interview, the Rab C. Nesbitt actor said he shed "quite a lot of weight" after being told he was diabetic.
  • He noted that only the most "eagle‑eyed" shoppers at his local supermarket tend to recognise him now.
  • He is preparing a UK live tour next month, opening at Lanark Memorial Hall, billed as an evening of stories, anecdotes and a Q&A.
  • Fisher continues on TV in BBC Scotland's Only Child with Greg McHugh, which is reported to be returning for a second series.
  • He called it "quite thrilling" to still be making shows at 72 and has drawn supportive comments on Instagram about his changed appearance.
