    Default Chelsey Hermann: "Some people don't want to understand us."

    Mr and Miss Hull bodybuilder winner Chelsey Hermann: 'Some people don't want to understand us'

    Chelsey Hermann from east Hull, and, right, winning the Ladies Toned Figure at the Mr and Miss Hull bodybuilding contest

    Bodybuilders have hit back at "ignorant" critics and insisted Hull's first show in almost two decades was a huge success.

    More than 1,000 people turned out on Sunday to watch Mr and Miss Hull and East Coast, held at the University of Hull's Asylum nightclub in Cottingham Road, west Hull.

    Despite its success, the heavily toned and bronzed contestants attracted some criticism on social media.

    One branded the competitors "ugly – both girls and boys" while another described the show as "disgusting", adding: "It's not normal, especially for the women."

    However, Chelsey Hermann, of Bilton Grange, east Hull, who was one of the competition's 12 winners, dismissed the criticism.

    The 25-year-old personal trainer, who won the ladies toned figure category, said:

    "At the end of the day, some people don't want to understand bodybuilding. That is their choice and their opinion, but the people who support me do understand it and that's all that matters.

    "All my family were there, my mum and sister were there and my friends were there too. Some had 'Team Chelsey' on their T-shirts.

    "It was very tough. I was weight-training six days a week and doing cardio seven days a week nonstop. I put in 110 per cent and it paid off.

    "I'm absolutely over the moon that I've won. I feel like I'm on cloud nine. It's an amazing feeling but I didn't expect it. It was my first competition. I just went out there and did my best."

    Organiser and Hull's very own Mr Universe, Dan Welburn, said: "It went massively well. You'll never see more people than that at a bodybuilding show.

    "We decided to try to revive it to get more people in this town interested in body- building again. It always has been looked at as a strange thing to do, but so many lads and lasses competed.

    "I'm 100 per cent sure we'll be back again next year."

    She looks great!

    Sadly sometimes the contests themselves don't "get it".
