FANS of The One Show have been left in shock as Matt Lucas appeared as a guest on the iconic red sofa last night.
Viewers were left distracted by the comedian’s incredible weight loss as he sat down to discuss his time on Who Do You Think You Are.
Matt, 48, sat down with show hosts Jermaine Jenas and Lauren Laverne alongside his mum Diana to discuss his upcoming TV show.
The mother and son duo discussed their Jewish heritage and their roots in Germany, discovered on the BBC programme.
During the interview, Matt was seen in a preview clip from the show finding out about his ancestors, who lived with Otto Frank’s family.
His ancestors were said to have been friendly with Otto’s daughter Anne, whose diary was later discovered and published.

However, fans were left seriously distracted from the story as they were left stunned by Matt’s noticeably trimmer frame.
“Watching The One Show, Matt Lucas has lost so much weight – I need to know his diet,” one fan wrote to Twitter.
“Matt Lucas is looking great with his weight loss,” a second added, as a third said: “Matt Lucas looks like he’s lost some weight. Looking good.”
“Applaud your weight loss, watching you on The One Show looking fine,” a fourth tweeted directly to the star.
During the show, Matt teased what was due to happen during his upcoming episode of Who Do You Think You Are.
“It’s a tragic story – there is happiness with my grandmother and the life she found,” he explained. “She met my grandfather and had two wonderful grandchildren.”
“We’re a very modest family,” Matt joked. “But learning about what happened to her cousins, to her aunts and uncles is really upsetting.
“But the thing was I never knew their names and I never knew what happened to them.
