Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle has gone from an inspirational weight-loss role model to a disgraced man facing five years in prison.

After agreeing to plead guilty to sexual misconduct with a minor as well as distribution and receipt of child pornography, Subway, the company that made him famous, announced that they had already severed ties with the former pitchman.

"We no longer have a relationship with Jared and have no further comment," the company tweeted on Tuesday.

This was followed up by another tweet on Wednesday, which read, "Jared Fogle's actions are inexcusable and do not represent our brand's values. We had already ended our relationship with Jared."

Prior to this scandal, Jared's weight-loss story attracted celebrities, who wanted to stand alongside him in spreading a positive message of health and well-being. Here are seven celebrities who starred with Jared in Subway ads.

1. Michael Phelps: The celebrated swimmer and most-decorated Olympian of all time satiated his legendary appetite with Jared in 2009. The campaign was slightly delayed after the athlete's marijuana scandal in which he was photographed with a bong.

It's a great way to eat good."

"I said, 'You ought to have your guys call our guys and see if we can get together and do something.'"
