Summary
- Alison Hammond screams as Dermot O'Leary lifted by World's Strongest Woman
- Weightlifter Rebecca Roberts shares inspiring journey from 30 stone to champion
- Husband's belief motivated Rebecca to pursue World's Strongest Woman title
On November 14, 2025, This Morning viewers were treated to a remarkable display of strength as the show's hosts, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, welcomed guest Rebecca Roberts, the current World's Strongest Woman. During the segment, the dynamic duo were left stunned when Rebecca effortlessly lifted Dermot off the ground, much to the delight and surprise of the studio audience and viewers at home.
Rebecca's incredible journey to the top of her sport is a testament to her determination and resilience. Just a decade ago, she weighed over 30 stone and lived off a diet of takeaways, but a back injury and a bout of depression led her to make a life-changing decision. With the unwavering support of her late husband, Paul, Rebecca began her transformation, eventually becoming an eight-time international champion and on track to become the Strongest Woman who ever lived.
One of the reasons Rebecca continues to strive for excellence is her late husband's belief in her potential. As she explained, "The belief that he had in me made me feel like I was invincible and that I could do anything." Tragically, Paul passed away in 2022, but his memory and the promise he believed she could fulfill continue to drive Rebecca's pursuit of the World's Strongest Woman title.
