A city dad who was named England's Strongest Man has now set the bar at new heights.

Leeroi Smith is a digger driver by day but the 30-year-old has now been named the strongest man in Great Britain - having already won England's Strongest Man at the end of June.

The dad-of-one from Brewers Court in NR3 came out on top at an event in Tamworth on Sunday to find the mightiest muscles in the under-90kg category.

Mr Smith said: "I think every man competing out there left every part of their soul on the floor.

"I would definitely say it is the toughest event I have done yet."
