And then it was just low carbs, high protein and s*** tons of cardio!“But it was definitely worth it. “When they called my name out and I got third place it was surreal because I had spent five months thinking about getting a medal.”Dan’s bronze last month qualified him to compete for Team GB in the PCA SuperSeries Natural final on October 6 in Seoul, South Korea. A world championship event.But the imminent arrival of his baby girl and the cost of the trip means he may be unable to accept the spot.Dan went from 40 per cent body fat to five in just five monthsDan travelled to Dusseldorf with mates Tom Vousden and Toby Poole who gleefully told SunSport how he had been making up for all the beers he missed out on when training. Especially as the trio watched England beat Switzerland on penalties in Saturday’s quarter-final in a pub packed with fellow Three Lions supporters.And despite putting on 1st 8lbs in the month since the show, Dan is desperate to make it to South Korea. He explained: “I said before Telford I would only do one show.

      PANCREATIC cancer is the tenth most common type of cancer in the UK and the fifth highest cause of cancer death, according to CRUK.
      The disease affects a large gland that is part of the digestive system – the pancreas is located behind the stomach and under the liver.
      It has two main functions: dripping digestive enzymes into the gut to help break down food, and releasing the hormones insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar.
      Pancreatic cancer occurs when malignant – cancerous – cells form in the tissues of the pancreas.
      Five signs of the disease that could be mistaken for another condition, or niggle, include persistent stomach ache, backache, indigestion, unexplained weight loss and bowel habit changes.
      Other symptoms that might be more obvious include jaundice, difficulty swallowing and vomiting.
      Patients may also suffer the symptoms of diabetes because pancreatic disease stops the production of insulin
      The causes of the disease are not exactly known but there are several risk factors that can make someone more likely to get the disease. More

But Three Lions fans would be forgiven for forgetting that World Cup 2006 opener.England staggered past Paraguay 1-0 thanks to Carlos Gamarra heading David Beckham’s free-kick into his own net after three minutes.Eintracht Frankfurt finished sixth in the Bundesliga last season.And they beat Barcelona and West Ham on the way to winning the 2022 Europa League final with a win over Rangers on penalties.

Fans will have everything around them.”Frankfurt is a very small town so you can reach everything.”SunSport says: The official fan zone is an amazing central spot to hang out and watch football. Unlike the Gelsenkirchen one which was out of town. But the riverside views are amazing and also you are just around the corner from the historic Romer market which will also be packed with England fans.The sprawling square is surrounded by some iconic traditional German buildings. And both the fan zone and the Romer are easy spots to reach the stadium from on public transport.England fans were seen jumping off bridges into the River Main during the 2006 World Cup in Germany

      Best pubs for England fans in Frankfurt Basti says: “There are many local pubs in the main central station area. “So I would recommend Yok Yok Eden which is a more relaxed, fun, open air spot where you can get nice drinks, good cocktails and decent beers.”And on the corner right outside the main station is O’Reilly’s Irish pub which is perfect for watching the Euro 2024 games before England play Denmark.”SunSport says: O’Reilly’s is ideal for England fans and will be packed to the rafters. But it is in a perfect location – you can’t miss it as you walk out of Frankfurt’s main train station. The service is good, there is inside and outside seats and you can get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a pint of Guinness for just 20 euros.At least you could a couple of weeks before the Euros… O’Reilly’s Irish bar is right outside Frankfurt’s main station and is a great place to watch live footballYok Yok Eden is a far more relaxed outdoor bar a little off the beaten track
      Best restaurants for England fans in Frankfurt
      Basti says: “If you’re in Frankfurt you have to try some local food. “And the best spots here for traditional fare are Apfelwein Wagner and Gemalten Haus. “They are traditional Frankfurt restaurants. where you can get traditional German food.”SunSport’s local guide recommends this spot for traditional German foodFrankfurt favourite ‘Green Sauce’ is a speciality at Apfelwein WagnerMust try German beerBasti says: ” I don’t drink a lot of beer. “You might think that’s a surprise for a German man but as I said, we’re not Germans we’re Frankfurters and we drink Apfelwein. “It’s like cider, and if you come here you have to taste it.”SunSport says: We know people say Guinness is not the same outside of Ireland.
