What motivated you to get involved with the gala? Me and my wife are involved in a number of children’s charities and we do as much as we can. We have family who have children who have needed a lot of hospital care. Some have needed major attention like lung transplants so we do are bit to help them out now.

GOSH spoke exclusively to comedian Michael McIntyre ahead of Channel 4’s Comedy Gala.

What do you do to stay fit?

Just standing up I’m out of breath, which is really unfortunate as when I’m on stage I have one of those mic things on my head where it is right in front of my mouth so you can hear how out of breath I am. It’s no secret. I have actually got myself a personal trainer now, his name is Matt.  I don’t know why I pay him. I do all the work and all he does is count. 1, 2, 3, 4… that’s all he does! It seems all you need to be able to do to be a personal trainer is count. I could have got my accountant to do it – it would have been cheaper.

What are your top tips for looking and feeling good?

I like to look at the day as two days. You wake up, have three meals and then go back to bed. Then wake up in the afternoon, have three meals and then go back to bed. And that’s how you do it, that it how you become happy and fat.

Have you ever had to stay in hospital? How was it?

I was there when my wife was giving birth but I just sat there in stunned silence. I was also in hospital myself when I dislocated my shoulder but I don’t remember it. I have been told about it, and apparently I was really arrogant. I was out of it on morphine and all I would talk about was my tour. I don’t remember a thing about it.

What is your advice to children and young people who have health problems? Oh, no. I can’t give out advice. Not someone like me.

Would you have liked a health website written specifically teenagers when you were younger? It would have been lovely to have a website like this when I was younger. All we had was the little red book under my mother’s bed. It can be dangerous to Google injuries so it’s good to have something like this to trust. You go on some sites and it’s terrifying. Do you have any other health advice you’d like to share? I’m not the one to be giving out health advice. I was told that if I exercised I would have loads of energy and look good but that’s not the case. I only still go because I paid in bulk. I exercise and now I look terrible AND feel terrible.
