A few months ago, he unveiled his slimline frame after shifting four stone since he appeared on X Factor.
And now chart hopeful Craig Colton has insisted he is now happy with his physique as he prepares to release his debut album.
The former biscuit factory worker, 24, showed off his trimmer shape in a new photoshoot to promote his album, which goes on pre-sale on Friday.

When he first appeared on The X Factor in 2011, he was known for his powerful vocals and rotund figure.
During the show, he started slimming down after taking diet tips from his mentor Gary Barlow, who himself battled the bulge.
Last autumn, Craig revealed his new shape, admitting he had lost 4st since his appearance on the show by hitting the gym and overhauling his diet.

He told the Liverpool Daily Post: 'I'm at a stage now where I'm not chasing pounds away I'm just doing it to keep fit and healthy.'
Craig admitted he waited until now to release his debut album because he 'wasn't ready' immediately after leaving the show.
He said: 'When I finished The X Factor I wasn't ready to do it.

'I think the best thing about taking this time out is that I'm growing into a young man. I'm an adult now with a mortgage and bills to pay.
'I've got a different writing style to the music I made after the show. My voice is different too, but in a good way.'
His album, rumoured to be called Time, is set for release later this year.
