Gladiator Diamond says 'being called skinny is an insult' and believes overcoming childhood bullies made her the 'strong woman' she is today


Gladiator Diamond says being called 'skinny' is an 'insult' and believes overcoming childhood bullies has made her the 'strong woman' she is today.

Livi Sheldon, 29, told MailOnline she was subjected to cruel taunts growing up over her height but now as a 6ft bodybuilder, she embraces her tall stature, and even wears a 10kg weighted vest while walking her dog to maintain her physique. In an exclusive interview, the BBC star described her younger self as 'lanky' but after playing football from the age of six led to a career in fitness, she built up her strength and now aims to banish stereotypes that women shouldn't have ripped bodies. Instead, the star has been supported by her longterm boyfriend, who accompanied her during late night walks when she was training, and ensured their fridge was fully stocked so she could remain focused on her diet plan.
