Half-ton dad
At 73 stones, Kenneth Bromley has been bed bound for four years. 'I got into this shape in about seven years. And those seven years have been the hardest of my life. It's like being a prisoner, a prisoner to myself; I just sit here in my bed. My routine is to just lie in the bed, watch TV and eat. That's all I do everyday, it's the same routine,' he says.
