Welcome to another episode of Stripping Off with Matt Haycox! This week, I’m stripping down one of the biggest and most built guests to grace the podcast - my good friend, reality TV heartthrob, Essex geezer, and personal trainer, James "Lockie" Lock. Get ready for a deep dive into James' life, from his childhood struggles with his parents' separation to his journey towards self-awareness and success in business.

We'll also explore James' passion for fitness, including his battle with body dysmorphia and his creation of a fitness app. Plus, don't miss out on the inside scoop on reality TV drama and James' aspirations beyond the small screen. This episode is packed with juicy topics about losing friends, being selfish, and women!!

Who is James Lock:

Meet James Lock, or as his pals call him, Lockie. This London-born lad burst onto the scene back in 2013 when he joined the cast of The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE). But before he was rubbing shoulders with reality TV royalty, Lockie was your regular guy, working as a supervisor at an electrical company.

Since then, he's become more than just a TV star – Lockie's dabbled in modelling and entrepreneurship, showing off his business side as a personal trainer, alongside his on-screen charm.

And let's not forget his romantic escapades that have kept everyone glued to our screens. Besides TOWIE, James has also starred in Celebs Go Dating, Eating With My Ex, and Ex On A Beach. However, after 10 years of TOWIE, he has quit the show and won't return for the next series. Is he going into acting? I guess you'll have to watch the episode to find out!
