The Radio X DJ appeared as a guest on The Greatest Game with Jamie Carragher and talked about everything from his beloved Leeds United to his dramatic lifestyle change which started a decade ago.

When Carragher joked if he was on Leeds gaffer Marcelo Bielsa's health regime, Moyles replied: "I don't think there are that many people who are as fit as the Leeds United players. I think this properly the best shape team with ever had, especially when you go back to the 70s when they were probably all having a fag at half time in the changing rooms... But no, I lost weight about 10 years ago or something like that, but it's just keeping it off that's the difficult thing."

The 46-year-old broadcaster added: "You were saying before we started recording like 'what do we do for the rest of the day?' We get asked that a lot. So today, I'll go home - I'm intermittent fasting at the moment Jamie. I'm doing that.

"[The gym] used to be 11-12 or 11-1 depending on what I was doing. I'd do a double session, but I don't go to the gym anymore because of the COVID [...] so now I train at home and I'm all over the Peloton. I love it. I love the Poleton."

Chris Moyles went on to praise Bielsa and explain just how important he is to Leeds supporters and the city as a whole.

"Imagine the effect that [Jürgen] Klop has on the city of Liverpool if there was no Everton team and it was just Liverpool. So that's what Leeds is. As we keep saying it's a one club city and that's REALLY REALLY important to feel the vibe of it.

"And he is... I mean, he's such an everything. I'm trying to think of a word but he's everything. Like he's this, this very, very unusual godlike character. You know, he's not got the physique of a professional. He looks like the former professionals that... you know the old players that used to retire and open a pub and they'd have a beer belly. He looks a bit like that.

"He's always in his training tracksuit. The story goes he lives above a sweet shop in a one bedroom flat. And he's this unbelievable statistician and all-round just mine of knowledge about the game and he researches, but he's become this - literally there's murals of him all over the city and quotes from him everywhere..."
