Martin, of North West London -- whose diet includes eating eight hotdogs for breakfast -- has 18 carers and has not got out of bed for 10 years. When the 42-year-old, who says his weight got out of control in his teenage years when his mom died, goes to hospital it takes eight ambulance staff to lift him.

He will take the title from Manuel Uribe of Mexico, who once weighed 571kg but is now close to 190kg. Luckily Martin will not need to go anywhere to collect his title. Keith Martin features in the upcoming Channel 5 show Big Body Squad.
