Adele and Robbie are swapping dumbbells for wedding bells

AN OVERWEIGHT woman who hit the gym, lost three stone and got in great shape has gained a fiance – her personal trainer.

Adele Farrell, 24, starting working out after her weight rose to 13st 6lbs as she gorged on crisps and chocolate, and went on boozy nights out.

“We went on our first date the weekend after. It was pretty surreal. Neither of us planned on having a relationsh­ip but it felt right.”

Adele and Robbie began spending a lot of time together – in and out of the gym. She said: “Robbie made me feel extremely special and went out of his way to do everything to make me happy, so I knew he was the one.
