A man who had become so fat that he couldn’t fit through the turnstiles at his local football club has won the Slimmer of the Year award from Slimming World.
Two years ago, Steve Hancock, 48, from Bristol, weighed 31 stone and could not walk more than a few paces without stopping for a rest. Due to his sheer size, Mr Hancock was forced to use the disabled access at football grounds as he simply couldn’t fit through the turnstiles.
