Former England international James Haskell has undergone a major body transformation.
The ex-flanker, who won 77 caps for his country, has been rehabbing from a shoulder injury and going through a difficult period personally, following his separation from ex-wife Chloe Madeley and the recent passing of his father.
‌
It seems the DJ and podcaster has been channelling his efforts into his exercise regime, with Haskell juggling his numerous other exploits with a fitness plan to get into incredible shape.
‌
Posting on Instagram, he explained that his injury - sustained during a gaffe filming his rugby podcast - had made things more challenging.
"When Sarah @roarfitnessgirl first mentioned doing something with ROAR, I jumped at the chance," he wrote. "I knew their reputation for delivering serious body transformations and I was ready for the challenge. "Working with James and the team took it to another level. I'd done shoots before FHM, Gay Times, Attitude, GQ but never trained for them. I'd just wandered in off the pitch. This time, I wanted to see how lean I could really get. I'd just turned 40 it all lined up perfectly.

"Injury midway through (yes, tore a bicep off the bone), DJ sets in Monaco, Wales and Exmouth, no carbs, late nights, dad duties it was full-on.
"But I loved every bit of it. ROAR @roarfitnessldn built a plan around me my goals, my injuries, my madness. They kept me focused, challenged me, and saw me through. "If you want serious results and a team that knows exactly how to get you there ROAR is the one. Can't wait to take on the next challenge. Let's see how far we can go. @jamescastlemason."
Haskell recently revealed one of the main reasons why his marriage with Chloe broke down. The pair split in 2023 after five years of wedlock.
‌
Drinking was a big factor, Haskell admitted.
"If I put more time into my marriage than I did Guinness, then I wouldn't be divorced now," he confessed to MailOnline while at Pub in the Park festival in west London.
"It's one of those things in life where some things don't work out, but I have so much love for my daughter and Chloe. It's teamwork."
‌
"What we all forget is when you have children and a marriage finishes, it's all about the kids," he added. "Chloe and I are amazing co-parents. Our priority is always Bodhi."
Chloe previously refused to delve into the reasons for their separation, saying she wanted to protect Bodhi from the "dark and painful experiences" she went through.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: "When you tell people that you are divorcing, everyone sees it as such a negative thing," before clarifying: "They say: 'This is going to be so hard for you.' And, yes, it is, but the hardest bit was when we were married."

She also revealed that "the last year of the marriage was awful" adding: "It was so dark, painful, and one of the worst periods of my life. It's a good thing we ended it."
