An 88-year-old grandfather who took up weightlifting after the death of his wife has become a TikTok hit.
Mick Wadge, from Laneshaw Bridge, Lancashire, began exercising at home with a broom handle and milk containers after his wife, Margaret, died.
His TikTok account, set up by his personal trainer about four weeks ago, now has more than 3,600 followers and 44,000 likes, while the videos have been viewed about 700,000 times, his trainer said.
Wadge, whose personal best dead-lift is 100kg, is now considering entering a powerlifting competition and exploring a potential Guinness World Record attempt.
