BBC broadcaster, Stephen Nolan, has shed so much body weight that he has started wearing clothes designed for women.

A slimline Nolan shared a photograph of himself wearing what he describes as a "woman's jacket" while on holiday in the U.S.A.

"So does anybody know what the difference is between a woman’s jacket and a man’s?," Nolan Tweeted.

"This was in the woman’s section of HandM, but I liked it - so I’m wearing it. Who cares !? I don’t," he added.

Nolan, 45, has made headlines recently after he lost more than eight-and-a-half stone in eight months.

The BBC Radio Ulster and BBC 5 Live broadcaster is virtually unrecognisable so much so that some people have said he bears a striking resemblance to loyalist blogger, Jamie Bryson.

"Fair play to you, Stephen, you look fantastic," Tweeted one man.

"You look absolutely fine - for for it!," exclaimed one woman.

"Looks great on you, as long as you are happy that's all that matter mate," replied another.
