THE BBC's Britain's Strongest Man competition will return to North Yorkshire in May. The qualifying heats and finals will be staged in Scarborough and Primrose Valley between May 6 and May 13, with the final stretching over the last three days of the competition.

Local hopes will be focused on Scarborough's Mal Kay who, if he makes it to the final qualifiers, will be a strong contender to take away the Citroen Vans Trophy.
