Sunderland mum who felt she had put on weight after having twins is now one of UK's best bodybuilders

Super-fit Helen Johnson finds the time to train 33 hours a week - while working and raising her three children. The 37-year-old, from Sunderland, achieved her personal training qualification during the coronavirus lockdown and is now taking part in bodybuilding competitions.

Helen, who works as a school councillor, won her category at a competition held by the bodybuilding authority IBFA UK and the British Finals. She has now been invited to attend the World Finals in Rome in November.
