A BARNSLEY man lost more than eight stones in two years to reach the final of Slimming World's Man of the Year 2014 competition.
Darrell Mitchell, 41, from Bowden Grove, Dodworth, has gone from weighing 22 stone 4lbs when he joined his local Slimming World group in June 2012 to 13 stone 11lbs.
He was one of just 36 entrants from across the UK and Ireland to reach the final of the competition on July 6 in Alfreton, Derbyshire, where Darrell met Sky Sports presenter Charlie Webster.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
