Ross Antony shed 30 kilograms after Let’s Dance

Ross Antony shed more than 30 kilograms following an intensive training stint on the RTL reality dance competition Let’s Dance, dropping from 112 kilograms down to approximately 80 kilograms, according to BUNTE.de. Five months after the show’s finale, the 52-year-old entertainer maintains his new physique through daily walking and regular sessions of badminton, golf, tennis, and swimming.

Berlin Film Event Debut

The entertainer displayed his transformed physique at a film celebration in Berlin on a Wednesday evening. At 52 years old, Antony stood out among attendees as news of his ongoing fitness routine circulated across media reports. The appearance marked a visible milestone more than five months after he and professional dance partner Mariia Maksina completed their run on Let’s Dance.

Daily Fitness Routine After Let’s Dance

The musician spent roughly 16 weeks rehearsing and competing alongside Maksina during the 2026 production cycle of Let’s Dance, where the pair secured a fourth-place finish. Antony noted that participants naturally shed pounds during such intense physical production schedules. The demanding rehearsals sparked a permanent shift in his lifestyle. Rather than returning to his previous habits, he traded the dance floor for recreational sports. His current regimen includes daily walks paired with badminton, golf, tennis, and swimming sessions to stay active.

Dietary Changes and Chocolate Exceptions

Antony reduced his daily food intake, allowing his stomach to adapt to smaller portions over time as his weight dropped from 112 kilograms to about 80 kilograms. I’m really trying my best, Antony said regarding his approach to aging and weight management. Because when you get older, you have to do even more. Despite the strict discipline required to lose over 30 kilograms, he maintains flexibility in his diet. He continues to permit himself occasional treats, drawing a firm line at chocolate, which he describes as essential to his life.

Television and Entertainment Career Context

Born in Great Britain, Antony rose to prominence in Germany in 2001 as a member of the casting-show pop group Bro’Sis, which remained active until 2006. He expanded his television footprint in 2008 by winning the reality show Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! on RTL. Alongside his television work, he established a career as a Schlager recording artist starting in 2013, landing his album 100 Jahre gute Laune at number two on the German charts in 2025. His resume also includes musical theater roles and hosting duties on programs such as Die Ross Antony Show on MDR.
