Eminem has reportedly been offered a deal to be the new face of the dieting brand Slim Fast.

The rapper’s weight is thought to have ballooned to nearly 15stone recently, something which wouldn’t have helped when he was hospitalised over the Christmas period with pneumonia and a ‘serious heart condition.’

Now, he’s apparently being offered a prime opportunity to shed the pounds and lose the flab. A spokesperson said: "Slim-Fast is a program that can really work for someone like Eminem; it’s a doable and flexible approach.

"Slim-fast would love to offer Eminem product and assistance to help him become a potential S-F success story."

According to OK! Magazine, Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers – is being offered a 1,900 calorie diet that will see him drink three shakes a day.
