IBFA UK Britain Finals 2026 results, Viva Blackpool, Sunday October 25 2026

Ant Shepherd and Sarah Page were crowned overall champions at the IBFA UK Britain Finals 2026, held at Viva Blackpool on Sunday 25 October. Shepherd took the overall after winning Men’s Bodybuilding Class 2, while Page claimed the overall female title on the back of her Women’s Bodybuilding win. Several athletes left Blackpool with two titles. Maxwell Herd won both Classic Short and Classic Over 40, and Paul Norton won Men’s Over 50 and Over 60. Chris Homewood took Classic Tall and Class 1, and Naomi Roberts won Bikini Under 23 and Bikini Open.

The Men’s Over 40 result was changed after the show. John Youssef was initially called in second place, but a day later Matt Ali reviewed the scorecards and reversed the decision, confirming Youssef as the winner. The results below reflect the corrected placings.
