AUSTIN Williams from the Scowles in Coleford (pictured) has been named Mr Harrogate.

Austin won the bodybuilding competition at the Viper Rooms in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, with locals still queuing to get in. The 31-year-old works as a manager in a sports nutrition shop.

The audience voted to decide the winner based on physical condition and tone over three gruelling rounds.

Austin is also a Second Dan Black Belt in tae kwon and ran classes in Cinderford for many years.
