Mick English participated last year at Oulton Hall gym and was crowned the eventual winner.

After struggling with his weight for years and being a smoker and a heavy drinker, Mick decided he wanted and needed to change his lifestyle for the better.

Mick said: “For the last ten years I struggled with my weight and have on a number of occasions yo-yoed from being a normal weight to being quite large.

“I then came across Leeds Largest Loser and it got me excited.

“Throughout the ten-week challenge I gave it my all and with the support from my team and trainers I managed to lose three stone in weight and was crowned Leeds Largest Loser 2016.

“I also stopped smoking which was another added bonus to my health.”

Entry costs £50 and participants are asked to raise £200 for the hospice - in return entrants receive all the advice and support they need in the ten-week period including a personal trainer and free gym membership.
