Around The World in Eighty Weighs continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 4 with the participants visiting Tonga (Episode 2).

In this heartwarming yet enlightening series, six individuals living with obesity in different parts of Britain embark on a global journey to understand the varied factors contributing to obesity worldwide. Each episode features hosts from diverse countries showcasing their cultural approaches to eating and exercise while delving into the local obesity challenges.

The show unfolds with moments of humour, triumphs, and challenges as our explorers undergo intense personal transformations, confront their inner struggles, and confront their fears. Along the way, they form meaningful connections with each other.

The participants gain valuable insights into the potential health implications of obesity, culminating in a collective weigh-in at the conclusion of each episode to determine if they have achieved their individual weight-loss objectives.

In Tonga, they encounter Ofeina, a figure actively addressing the obesity crisis in the island nation. Despite their reservations, the group embraces the traditional Tongan diet, including raw fish, raising the question: Have they succeeded in shedding any weight by the end of the week?
