Shane Warne has revealed how he piled on a staggering '20kg' in just six months after discovering his love of partying in England back in 1989.

The legendary cricketer, 52, said in his Amazon Prime documentary Shane that he ballooned to 99kg after drinking '10 pints every day' and enjoying a diet of 'chicken and chips' while living in Bristol when he was 19-years-old.

Warne had been invited by a pal to spend a summer playing cricket in England after his dreams of becoming an AFL star were shattered a year prior, with the UK trip kick-starting his ascension into Australia's Test XI in 1992.
