Keith Chegwin is enthusiastic about his allergy to chocolate.
The larger than life actor thinks that his chocolate allergy diagnosis may help him to fulfil his new year's resolution.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I want to lose a bit more weight because I'm a fat bugger because I love my food and I love my chocolate."
"Now I've just found out I'm allergic to chocolate so I might lose even more weight."
However, Keith won't be letting his dieting plans hold him back over the festive period.
He explained: "I just love doing Christmas dinner I can't tell you.
"That's my main thing and this year, because I'm not doing panto for the first time ever it's going to be a luxury to have time off so I'm really looking forward to spending it with my family."
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star is also hoping for a white Christmas.
He added: "I'll be out building snowmen with the kids, even if they are 17 and 24 I'm doing it. If it snows it's just the icing on the cake for me."
