You probably wouldn't expect the UK's strongest man to be only 26 years old - but he is! And he's from Stoke-on-Trent.

Eddie Hall has been competing as a 'strong man' for six years and is highly regarded as one of the strongest men in the world.

He has to eat around 8,000 calories a day to fuel his body and his shopping bill comes to around £200 a week.

Eddie is now working hard towards his next big competition in his home city at the end of May.

James Clark has been to meet him.
