About Neil
Little bit about me: my birthday is 30th October, I'm a fire fighter in West Yorkshire and own a gym called musclemania in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire/ I have appeared on the fire fighter calendar three times now (cover 2001, August and October 2008). I have also done numerous TV projects too, ranging from taking an aerobics class on GMTV in my fire kit for a few weeks through to the villa on Sky One (happy days!)
I am the main character in a new comic book called The 21 Demons which was created by Paul Roper. It will be a game/film before long too so fingers crossed all goes well.

Yes, for this sport to be taken seriously I think all competitors should be in shape and able to stand on stage within 4 to 6 weeks of dieting.
