SportsFormer cricketer Ashley Giles opens up about obesity struggles

Former England cricketer Ashley Giles says his weight rose to almost 20 stone (127kg) after he stopped playing. He found the shift from life as an elite international athlete, with nutritionists managing his diet, to a desk job difficult. Giles wants to start a conversation about obesity and mental health and encourage people to speak openly about their challenges.
