As the star of 2009 TLC show The 650lb Virgin, David Smith's transformation to handsome personal trainer - with a doting girlfriend - made headlines.

But in a sad turn of events, the 35-year-old, from Phoenix, Arizona revealed today that he is once again morbidly obese, having re-gained over 250 of the 400lbs he lost.

In an interview this morning, he admitted that by putting on weight at this rate, his life was at risk.

He told the Today show: 'I've gained more than 250lbs in two years, and with all that extra weight so quickly added to my body, I don't know how I'm still living right now... The way I'm going, I'm not going to live for too much longer.'
