GEMMA Taylor has been crowned Britain's Strongest Woman after winning all five of the competition's events.
The 21-year-old from Bagby, near Thirsk, North Yorkshire, can now add the title to her UK's strongest woman trophy.
During the event, in Maidstone, Kent on Monday, she pulled a minibus 20 metres in 15 seconds, lifted a 55kg log 18 times in 75 seconds and did a dead lift of 220kg - the maximum weight.
She said: "I woke up feeling strong and was totally determined to do my best. I realised that it doesn't matter who you are up against, the person that is more important to beat is yourself. Winning Britain's Strongest Woman was a huge stepping-stone for me."
She is now aiming for the World's Strongest Woman contest in Ireland in July.
As well as being a strong woman, she is a also a pub singer and bouncer, and appeared on TV show Stars in Their Eyes as Alison Moyet.
