Michael McIntyre cuts a casual figure as he steps out for a stroll in Hampstead 

Michael McIntyre took a brief break from his typically busy schedule as he was seen enjoying a casual walk in Hampstead on Monday.

The comedian, 44, put on a low-key display as he strolled across the streets of the English capital.

Presenter Michael, who was previously the highest-grossing stand-up comic in the world, dressed down in a plain black jacket, which he teamed with a camouflage print baseball cap.

Maintaining his comfy display, the former Britain’s Got Talent judge also sported baggy joggers and running trainers.

Michael, who has two children with his aromatherapist wife of 17 years Kitty Ward, rounded things off with his signature, square-framed reading glasses.

The writer usually prepares to release a new season of his hit programme Michael McIntyre’s Big Show around this time in the year, but it is unclear whether the sixth series will go ahead amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Last month, Michael has revealed he lost one-stone in just six days during a trip with his pal.

The funnyman explained how he visited the Mayr clinic in Austria with his friend Paul Tonkinson in February 2017.

Speaking on Jessie Ware’s Table Manners podcast, he said the pair ‘starved’ during the trip and only ate soup and crackers.

The Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow star shared: ‘You drink the Epsom salts first thing and then within 20 minutes, the whole of the clinic – which is full of wealthy fat people – are all rushing to the lavatory. 

‘I lost a stone – we were only there six days. I was so emotional, depressed and confused and Paul was skeletal.’ 

Revealing more about the stay, the TV star said he and Paul decided to leave early after his pal ‘nearly died’ following an incident which was ‘a bit grim and cleared them out’ during a hike.
