The son of Welsh rugby legend Scott Quinnell has revealed a very different career path from that of his father - a 7ft tall drag queen called Heidi Heights.

Steele Quinnell, 26, says he tried the sport that made his dad a sporting hero when he was a child - but decided it wasn't for him.

Instead, he is a personal trainer by day, and by night straps on high-heels to elevate his already striking 6ft 6in frame to 7ft 1in as he embraces his alter-ego.

Mr Quinnell launched his act earlier this year and remained under the radar for a time - but has become flavour of the month since giving an interview to a Welsh news website last week to promote a race weekend.

Fans were astonished to learn that the son of Scott Quinnell - capped 52 times for Wales and picked for two British & Irish Lions tours, one of which saw him score a try against Australia - was not following in his father's footsteps.
