I piled on seven stone in 9 months after a horror car crash - but then I joined the gym for the first time and now I leave women swooning

A man who piled on seven stone after a horror crash that left him with just a two percent chance of survival has transformed his body - leaving women swooning.

Connor Miles, 23, from Yorkshire, was on a night out in York in September 2021 when he received a lift home from a driver who fell asleep at the wheel.

While he was sitting in the back of the car, the driver veered off the road and collided straight into a house - leaving Connor with severe and life-threatening injuries.

Connor was left with severed bowels, broken ribs, a damaged spine, punctured pancreas and internal bleeding.

Given just a two percent of survival, Connor even said goodbye to his parents - but miraculously the former fence erector began slowly making small improvements every day.

Now Connor is intent on sharing his story as an 'ex fat boy' to his 15,000 TikTok followers

However, Connor turned to food to cope with the trauma of his accident - gaining seven stone across nine months after the incident.

Determined to turn his life around, Connor began making changes to his diet and frequenting the gym, which led to the incredible transformation in his appearance.

Now, Connor is intent on sharing his story as an 'ex fat boy' to his 15,000 TikTok followers and is bewildered by the newfound wave of interest from women online - many labelling 'hot' and 'banging'.

Connor said: 'Before the crash I was just a normal guy with a 9 to 5 job. I was always a bigger guy but not as overweight as I became after the crash.

'I remember the impact. It was excruciating. I don't think I'll ever be in worse pain in my life. I was given a two percent chance of survival. So I obviously said goodbye to my parents and sister. I was in hospital for well over a month.

'Then slowly I started regaining my walking ability and wasn't in imminent danger of needing emergency surgery any more.

'Then the night I was discharged and came home, I got sepsis and spent another three weeks in hospital. Physically I started slowly improving.

'I was on a lot of pain relief and it was sending me wild. When you're poorly, you never want to sit there and eat healthy food.

'And I did that for six months - eating rubbish upon rubbish. I was eating to try and deal with what had happened.

'I was in the worst way and just getting fatter and fatter. I got to summer 2022 and I hated what I looked like. I'd never been to the gym before - I couldn't stand it but I started going to the gym and for walks.'

After gaining more than seven stone following the accident, Connor began training in the gym six times a week and eating a protein-heavy diet.

The personal trainer hopeful soon fell in love with fitness - losing almost seven stone, which inspired him to begin helping others online.

Connor said: 'I just fell in love with fitness and going to the gym. When I started to see a difference, I just got more and more motivated. It really took off from there.

'I started getting more and more confident. I started posting videos online and realised I could help other people too.

'I definitely noticed a difference in how people treated me when I lost weight.

'In the last six months, I've noticed more attention from girls and in the comments on TikTok. It's a bit strange and I was taken aback by it.

'I've got a bit of a following online and just want to keep growing this. Not many fitness instructors do it from a perspective where they've lost weight themselves. I know first-hand what does and doesn't work.

Connor said because he was poorly he didn't want to eat healthy and he was turning to comfort food  

North Yorkshire Police confirmed the details of the crash, saying a man received an eight-month prison sentence after he fell asleep while driving home from a night out and ploughed into a house after being awake for 21 hours

'It still doesn't feel real what I've been through. I'd say to other people that you can't give up. You've just gotta get up and do it.

'Don't care what the next person thinks. I feel like I was given a second chance at life and don't want to waste it.'

Social media users have flocked to the comment section to praise Connor on his weight loss transformation.

One woman said: 'Hot...I mean well done.' Another said: 'He is banging.' A third added: 'Smash.'
