He is learning new recipes from his girlfriend Debbie Gwyther and enjoying the benefits of a good home cooked meal. 

A source said: "Liam's never cooked before but it's helped him relax. His girlfriend Debbie Gwyther has been showing him the ropes. He's been having a go at lentil stews, stir-fries and soups.

"It's all part of his plan to get healthy in 2015. He's been getting fit by going on jogs."

He claims that all of this good food is helping him cope with his two most recent court battles; a child-support hearing with Liza Ghorbani over their 22-month-old daughter, who he has never met, and a divorce settlement with his second wife Nicole Appleton.

The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "He's trying not to let the stress of everything get on top of him."

This is not the first time he has tried to alter his lifestyle and eating habits- as he used to call himself the 'Salmon King' as he was an expert at the salmon stir fry. 

Speaking in 2009, he said: "I'm always banging away at the fish man. I used to really dig sardines, but now I'm on the salmon. The royalty cheques have started rolling in again. I'm on the salmon big time. My top three fish are salmon at number one, sea bass at two and sardines are third.

"My number one dish is f***ing salmon and stir-fry. You need to pre-heat your oven for 10 minutes. F***ing loads of soy sauce. Get your salmon wrapped up in some tin foil with a fold in the end. Stick it in the oven for 15 minutes. Take it out, bit of stir-fry, loads more soy sauce. F***ing top dish, no mess, sweet!"
