Flash Back: When Jordan Saunders was 11-years-old she weighed 11 stone - and was bullied for it
Miss Saunders said: "Both me and Ray have beat the bullies to bag our buff bodies - and each other.
"When the pictures of us posing on stage in a bodybuilding contest came out I had people who had teased me at school asking for weight loss tips.
"Suddenly all these people who had called me names when we were teenagers came out of the woodwork and were asking how they could get in great shape.



"The tables really have turned - I always try and help even though part of me is surprised."
Miss Saunders struggled with her weight as a child and ate a fatty diet consisting of chicken nuggets, chips and calorie-laden ready-meals.

"My sister used to call me 'dustbin'.
"Despite this, fitness was still hugely important to me and I swam for 20 hours a week.
"But my diet meant I couldn't shed the pounds.
