Bullied boy named slimmer of the year...
Jack Mitchell, 18, from Sunderland, lost 7 1/2 stone over two years to earn the title. He was taunted at school about his size after his weight peaked at 20 stone when he was 16.
He said: “I was taunted about my weight by pupils and a teacher. As the bullying got worse I hid away at home, I was afraid to go out anywhere. By the age of 16 I felt totally worthless and had no self-esteem or confidence.
