A singer who took up bodybuilding after struggling with her weight for many years said she has lost nearly 10 stone and “can now hold a note for much longer”.
Jane Bennett, 56, from Frome, Somerset, said she had tried different ways to get fit while wanting to lose weight for most of her adult life.
She is competing in the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation UK First Timers (WNBF) event on Sunday, after finding a love for the gym inspired her to step outside her comfort zone.
“I started just wanting to feel better – I never imagined where it would lead,” Bennett said.
