Welsh mum inspired to lose 11 stone after getting stuck in stadium turnstile

A rugby fan lost more than 11 stone - after getting stuck in a stadium turnstile.

Nurse Hayley Edwards, 30, from Abertillery weighed 23 stone when she went to watch a rugby match with friends.

She became trapped when trying to make her way through a turnstile on the way to the game in Manchester, and needed stewards to help her through.

Hayley resolved to lose a large amount of weight, and adopted a healthy diet and exercise over the next three years.

She says she is now 4lbs away from her target weight.

Hayley is now in the running to win a national slimming competition.
