TEN Things You Didn’t Know About Ozempic

1 SEVERAL Tory front-runners are said to inject themselves with Ozempic in order to look suitably skinny for a leadership contest after their party’s defeat at the next general election.

likely contenders Grant Shapps and robert Jenrick have become so thin they share a suit when attending the Commons.

‘In these cash-strapped times, suit- sharing sends out a vital message that the Tory party understand­s the hopes and needs of ordinary, decent people,’ says senior Conservati­ve Sir Jacob rees-Mogg.

2 SIR Jacob is rumoured to have been on the wonder weight-loss drug from the age of six months, which is why his double-breasted romper suit always appeared too big for him.

3 VETERAN celebrity bear Winnie- the- Pooh started injecting himself with Ozempic in late 2023. ‘ Frankly, I’d been playing the part of the winsome teddy for too long, and was becoming stereotype­d,’ he told chatshow host Graham norton. ‘lead roles in the latest action movies kept passing me by.’

Ozempic produced a dramatic weight reduction, but it is playing havoc with his current role. ‘ My longrunnin­g Broadway show features a scene in which I get stuck in a tunnel after eating too much honey. But I no longer get stuck, so the second half of the show, scheduled for 45 minutes, is all over in a minute or two. It means I get to bed earlier, but audiences feel short-changed.’

4 BBC’S Panorama tracked down Mr Blobby ( above in his prime), former co- star of Tv’s long-running noel’s House Party, to the australian Outback, where he’s lived as a recluse for 20 years. In the old days, everyone wanted his autograph, and he was guaranteed the finest table in any restaurant. nowadays, he passes unrecognis­ed, thanks to Ozempic. He’s under half his original size, his face and body heavily wrinkled, and he rarely smiles. ‘It’s as if the air’s gone out of him,’ sighs a worried neighbour.

5 A FORMER friend reveals Blobby’s character changed half way through the final series of noel’s House Party. ‘When he first hit our screens, he was this happygo-lucky character, without a care in the world, bouncing about saying “Blobby blobby blobby”. Then he started dating the sister of a Spice Girl, and before long he was being spoken about as the next James Bond.

‘It went to his head, then he started a course of Ozempic, thinking it would increase his popularity. He didn’t realise fans loved him for his chubbiness, and were sickened at the sight of him as flesh-and-bones.

‘Then noel edmonds dropped him from House Party, and nowadays he can’t even find a job as his own lookalike.’

6 OVERWEIGHT cricketers have been prescribed a similar new wonder drug, Owzatnic. ‘It’s marvellous. These days, I can complete a run without stopping for a sandwich half way,’ says batsman roland Butter.

7 WITH a summer of sun on the horizon, weight- loss groups are preparing various outdoor get-togethers. Ozempicnic­s feature a hamper for 12 — four sticks of celery, two grapefruit­s and a bottle of still water.

8 VETERAN Hollywood superstar Olive Oyl recently admitted taking doubledose­s of Ozempic. ‘I’d never have got to where I am without it,’ she confessed to People magazine. ‘ When I auditioned for the role of Popeye’s wife, I couldn’t squeeze into a size 16 dress. So I started taking Ozempic, got the part, and in months I’d taken the world by storm. I’m now an icon for reformed fatties the world over.’

9 THE newly converted Ozempic Stadium will contain twice as many spectators as similar stadiums. ‘ We’re reckoning on two adults per seat,’ boasts stadium boss Jeff ‘Skinny’ Malinks.

10 SEVERAL darts champions have been prescribed Ozempoche, a weight-loss drug targeted to their needs. ‘Back when I was around 27 stone, I would get out of breath just throwing a single dart, but thanks to Ozempoche, I am down to 23 stone,’ says delighted darts champ len Bubble, 25. ‘now I can stroll over to the board, remove all three darts, and stroll back with just a brief pitstop to get my breath back and fill up on chips.’
