This Morning: Welsh man who walked the entire UK coastline rummaged through bins to eat before meeting love of this life

Known for walking the UK coastline, Swansea's Chris Lewis left his home city with just £10 in his pocket and today, February 1, he appeared on This Morning revealing more details of his charity trek. At the start of his epic journey, on which he met partner Kate Barron, he had to forage and rummage through bins for food.

Chris left Swansea with just ten pounds in his pocket back in August 2017 and has since raised thousands of pounds for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, adopted a dog, found the love of his life and become a dad again. Talking about his journey, Chris said that the beginning was the toughest part.

He told Phil and Holly: "I would say it was more difficult at the beginning because nobody knew what I was doing and over time the generosity of the public and people was just unbelievable...at the very beginning I was rummaging through bins and foraging and I wasn't very good at it, so that didn't help."
