Man who ate 35 Double Deckers a week until he 'couldn't put his socks on' now training to be a pro boxer

A 26-stone man who scoffed 35 Double Deckers every week until he was so obese he 'couldn't put his socks on' has dropped 11 stone in a year in a bid to become a professional boxer.

'Food addict' Tobie Vermeire, from Malvern Hills, Worcester, had always struggled with his weight but soon found himself scoffing a four-pack of the Cadbury's chocolate bars with lunch and sometimes more in the morning and evening.

Each bar contains a whopping 30g of sugar meaning the 29-year-old was consuming a kilo of sugar a week from his Double Decker habit alone.
