By Jason Groves PUBLISHED: 18:11 EST, 16 March 2014 | UPDATED: 18:11 EST, 16 March 2014 George Osborne’s fashionable 5:2 diet appears to be paying off, with the Chancellor looking noticeably leaner on the breakfast TV sofa yesterday. The Chancellor is said to have shed significant amounts of weight by cutting his calorie intake to just 500 on two days of the week - while David Cameron has sparked speculation he may also be on a new diet. The Prime Minister, who has fought an on-off battle with his weight, tucked into low-fat options on his flight back from a trip to Tel Aviv last week, after Number 10 asked for him to be served a selection containing no dairy products.
