The 52-year-old who weighed in at 18st 8lb at the end of last year claims to have shed all his weight the old fashioned way, through diet and exercise. Back in May the National Enquirer reported that Carey underwent a series of injections of a custom made appetite suppressant administered by a Hollywood nutritionist. According to the American tabloid Carey told friends the injections cost a fortune but were well worth it because: 'I now have no desire to eat...I can hardly even get down the tiny portion of fish I'm supposed to have for dinner.'

In October 2007 Carey replaced retiring host Bob Barker on The Price Is Right., he said at the time: 'You can't replace Bob Barker. I don't compare myself to anybody...It's only about what you're doing and supposed to do, and I feel like I'm supposed to be doing this.'
