The 'All I Do Is Win' musician has shared a string of videos of himself eating healthy meals and exercising as he tries to get his head around the diet's points system.

WW Freestyle users enter what they have eaten into an app on their phone which then tells them how many points they have consumed, with the daily target being 40 points.

Khaled also posted a video of himself in a swimming pool with his 15-month-old child Asahd, and admitted one of his main reasons for wanting to lose weight is because, "I love my son."

Oprah tweeted the 42-year-old DJ saying: "@djkhaled Welcome to #WWFreestyle. Can't wait to see you #blessup this program (sic)"

Khaled shared his delight at being tweeted by Oprah, posting a picture of himself grinning, captioned: "The smile ? you make when @oprah tweets you ! (sic)"
