A bodybuilder who daubed himself a 'skinny lad from Chorley' has secured his dream by lifting three world titles.

Matt, who took up bodybuilding after struggling to fit in at school and has been training for the past 27 years at Pasquill's Gym in Chorley three to four times a week, added:"No words can even describe this. An unexpected entry into middleweight and an even more unexpected win. I can't even comprehend."There were a smaller number of competitors than expected due to costs and Covid restrictions which is something you cannot control. However the talent on stage was outstanding.

"I can't explain the gratitude I have to each person who has shared my story and supported me along the way by donating and sending well wishes. Thank you in every single way possible."What's next on the agenda for the three times' champion?"I have had invites to the British, European, World and Universe competitions next year.

Derian House Children’s Hospice provides respite and end-of-life care to more than 450 children and young people across the North West and relies on funding from the public as services cost £5.7 million to run every year with only 17 per cent coming from the government.
