Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino reveals body transformation

He skipped the cannoli this time.

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, famed for his role on “Jersey Shore,” has unveiled a remarkable body transformation, reclaiming the iconic six-pack that he proudly showcased when the show first hit screens nearly 16 years ago.

At 43, Sorrentino shared with The Post the journey to his sculpted abs, detailing how he eliminated beloved Italian staples like chicken cutlets and pasta from his diet. Coupled with almost two-hour gym sessions five days a week, his disciplined regimen has led to a 30-pound weight loss.

“I probably haven’t been this weight since I was 19 or 20,” he reflected. “I’m also realizing that maybe a lot of genetics have to do with it because as soon as I lost the weight, the abs are just there.”

With a sense of amazement, he added, “I’m like, ‘Oh my God, God decided to give me back my abs.’”

The dad of three sticks to a strict diet of four scrambled eggs and oatmeal in the morning, roasted or grilled chicken and rice for lunch, and steak, chicken or fish paired with a sweet potato for dinner.

“Abs are made in the kitchen. I never cheated on my diet, but I’m going to start to implement that cheat day because I’m down to 180 now,” he said.

The reality star, who stars in the show’s spinoff, “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation,” said that both he and MTV were skeptical he would achieve the ambitious goal.

“Because I’m not a spring chicken. I’m not in my 20s anymore … but as the weeks started to go by, I started to see the weight come off,” said Sorrentino, who works out in his Holmdel, NJ home’s gym.

“I started telling production at MTV, ‘I think I’m going to get The Situation back. I’m putting in the work, I’m starting to look good.’ And they were like, ‘Yeah, okay.’”

In September, he posted a photo of his slimmed-down face, and fans immediately started speculating that he’d gotten work done.

“Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, he had a facelift,’ because I had just showed my face. It was all over the press … And I’m like, ‘It was gym, tanning, laundry,’” Sorrentino said, referring to the daily routine acronym “GTL” that the “Jersey Shore” cast made famous.

He also debunked any rumors of Ozempic, saying he would never use the weight loss drug since it causes muscle loss.

The Staten Island native, who grew up in Manalapan, NJ, kept his big reveal a secret until Oct. 16 when he posed shirtless on a scissor lift in Times Square, with a billboard showcasing his shredded abs behind him — a scene that was filmed for the TV series.

“Those were genuine reactions from people that were standing in Times Square. Everyone was cheering and screaming. It was such a natural high.”

At the height of his fame, Sorrentino, who is approaching his 10th year of sobriety, was addicted to the prescription painkiller Roxicet. In 2018, he faced another setback when he was sentenced to eight months in federal prison for tax evasion.

“What a journey I’ve had from having my abs when I was first introduced to the world to now post prison, post addiction, recovery and now having them again … This is the evolution of The Situation,” said Sorrentino, who is gearing up to open the first of his treatment centers, the Archangel Centers, in Tinton Falls, NJ.

“I have the family and the story and the sobriety, and now I got the abs back. All those things are priceless. You have to earn those. I put the work in for all of that.”

Sorrentino posted photos of his new look on Instagram with one fan commenting, “Mike should go do some action movies.”

“I wouldn’t say that that is out of the question for me,” he said. “Because I feel like I’m an action figure right now.”
