A Gary Barlow superfan has lost an incredible 11st after a selfie with the pop star left her horrified by her 22st 9lb figure. Hellen Ellis, 40, from Rowley Regis, West Midlands, once ate 14 packets of cheese and onion crisps per day, but says she never realised how big she was until she took a photograph with the former Take That singer at his ‘Since I saw You Last’ tour in April 2014. Shocked into action by the unflattering selfie, the size 30 supermarket sales assistant underwent a gastric bypass and has dropped an astonishing nine dress sizes to a size 12.
