Fans have been quick to congratulate the star, with many sharing their own weight loss stories.
One person commented on the picture: "Wow that is an amazing achievement. I hope you are really proud of yourself. Keep going Sir, keep going".
Another wrote: "You’re doing good Mark, every 1lb lost counts and they soon add up. Well done you!"
While it is not known how much Mark has lost all together, in October he shared that he had dropped two and a half stone off his original weight of 378lbs.
At the time, the star said he had lost four inches off his chest and six inches off his belly in just six months.
It is believed Mark has shed the pounds through a healthy diet and exercise.
Mark spoke about his weight loss during an appearance on Loose Women, telling them: "It was the diabetes.
"My colleague Paul Sinha also got the diagnosis and he rapidly lost two stone and he went from being diabetic to pre or non-diabetic.”
He added: "I’m waiting for my next check up and I’m hoping the figures are going to be better.
"I’m still eating very well – I'm just cutting out sugar because of the Type 2 diabetes."
