A morbidly obese mum who could barely climb the stairs lost an impressive nine stone- by dancing.

Kelly Watts, 37, tipped the scales at 18st and could barely squeeze into size 24 clothes after decades of tucking into five takeaways a week.

The mum-of-one shed three stone by accident from her biggest in 2016, but was still struggling to climb the stairs and was terrified she'd die of a heart attack in her sleep.

Determined Kelly, who admits she was suicidal, signed up for a tester R&B and dancehall fitness class twice a week.

And despite not being able to get through the warm up of the first class, she stuck with it, and danced away another 7st in just 15 months.
