Just in case you were wondering, the once world's fattest man is the guy in the middle
A Briton who was once the world's fattest man at 70st is to marry after his American girlfriend proposed to him on a U.S. television show.
Paul Mason, 53, from Ipswich, Suffolk, who has since slimmed down to a 22st, immediately said 'yes' to Rebecca Mountain, 40, from Orange, Massachusetts.
And the former postman vowed to get into the shape of his life for their
big day, saying: 'I don’t want to go down that aisle in a wheelchair.'
His bride to be 40-year old Miss Mountain, who is a slender 8st, asked for his hand in marriage as they appeared live on ABC's The View show
And that wasn't the only surprise Mr Mason had in store, as the show's
hosts announced that as an engagement present they would donate towards
the amount needed to fund surgery to remove excess skin following his
dramatic weight loss.
Asked if a date had been set for their wedding, Miss Mountain told The
View: 'There’s so many things we need to do to take care of Paul first.
'There will be another surgery for his legs but not for another six to eight months.'
