Proclaimers superfan loses 13 stone after 'feeling huge' - and she's now walking 500 miles

Proclaimers superfan Nichola Maclean lost 13 stone after being shocked by a picture she had taken with her idols. The mum-of-two has been a die-hard fan of hitmakers Craig and Charlie Reid since she was aged 10, but the 45-year-old felt she looked 'huge' in a snap with the superstars following a gig in 2018.

Nichola, who stands at 6ft 3in, said the picture left her 'mortified' after her weight ballooned to 27 stone over the years. Speaking to the Record, she said: "By that point I weighed 27 stone and wore a size 24, I didn't realise before, but looking at the photo I knew I was huge.

"Because of my height, I thought maybe I hid it well. That photo was the wake-up call I needed to make a change."
