Will Bayley

Olympic tattoos are a rite of passage for many athletes and Will Bayley MBE is no different!  As well as gracing our TV screens earlier this year on Strictly, Will’s consistent drive to succeed has meant that his sporting career has grown from strength to strength. From his mother having to write a letter demanding Will be allowed to do school PE to becoming Paralympic table tennis player champion, ranked world number 1. Will’s own journey has involved many hurdles but he has always champions ability rather than focussing on disability. From the outside, Will's tattoos are a triumph of his successes with Rio and Beijing Olympic tattoos on his thigh and arm, an English lion from his first England top on his stomach and a full sleeve. This wonderfully warm chat sees Will and Gareth cover much ground, from Will’s table tennis beginnings, to Gareth’s scorpion tattoo on his shoulder.
