A dad who ballooned to 30 stone on pizzas and pints of Guinness has shed almost half his body weight – by dancing to TikTok sounds. Adrian Scarlett, 52, was so big he couldn't even get a tape measure around his waist after years of binge eating.
The dad-of-four used to gorge on kebabs, pizzas and cheese pies which he washed down with pints of Guinness and glasses of red wine. The headteacher decided to take drastic action last year over fears he was "eating himself to death" and would not live to see his children grow up.
He set up a TikTok account last July to chart his weight loss and started posting videos of himself ‘dad-dancing’. His videos on his ‘Bye Bye Fatman’ page went viral with millions of views and hits which spurred him to carry on getting healthy.
