Luke said: “We’re both delighted. The goal was for her to win but obviously for it to actually happen don’t think it’s sunk in yet.

“Plan going forward is to continue to build our business on the back of her success. We opened a strength gym in Preston this March to help our training which is going great.

“Then to go back to World’s next year for Rhianon to defend her title and hopefully I’ll be back competing there next year!”
