A husband and wife have lost 24 stone between after being shamed by their fat wedding photos.

With a combined weight of 52 stone at their heaviest, Noel and Leisa Hoey, from Dublin, were so big they couldn't sit beside each other at the cinema or on an aeroplane - and broke their bed frame four times with their bulk.

But after being embarrassed by their unflattering marriage snaps, Noel, 35, has lost 16 stone. Leisa, 33, lost eight stone and dropped six dress sizes after squeezing her massive bulk into a size 26 gown for their big day.

Leisa said: 'When I saw the wedding pictures my heart sank - I felt absolutely disgusted with the pair of us. From the moment I saw them I knew they wouldn't be pictures I'd look back on with a smile and treasure forever. I was so disappointed.'
