How Britain’s Fattest Man Spent £22,000 On Takeaways Before He Died

The final weeks of Britain's fattest man are to be revealed in a documentary filmed shortly before he died - showing how he spent £22,000 on takeaways in six years. Carl Thompson, who weighed 65 stone when he died aged 33, was found dead at his flat in Dover, Kent last month after binge-eating for years following the death of his mother.

He agreed to talk about his struggle with obesity as part of Channel 5's six-part Supersized season - but died just weeks after filming had finished. Mr Thompson was completely bedbound in the run-up to his death and often consumed 10,000 calories a day spending thousands of pounds a year on fast food.

He reveals in the documentary how he had even given staff at his local takeaway a key to his home so they could bring food to his bed. Too sad. See more photos of him below.
