Bad Hair Day For Christopher - Kind Hearted Island Man Braving Chest Wax For Charity

Visitors to Newport's town centre may find themselves waxing lyrical about the latest exploits from a kind-hearted Isle of Wight man.

Christopher Hayton is getting his chest waxed tomorrow (Tuesday) from 11am at Newport's Red House Spa.

All proceeds are going to mental health charities to stop suicide from happening across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Dressed as Deadpool, Christopher is hoping the costume helps to raise spirits as well as funds by brightening up people's days.

"If anyone wants to walk past and rip some hair out of my chest then they can," Christopher told Isle of Wight Radio.

"I'm wearing this costume because I like to cheer people up."

Christopher has previously raised money for Walk the Wight (dressed as a traffic cone), Prostate Cancer UK and Shanklin's John's Club among others.

Discussing his previous effort, Christopher added:

"Over the years I've raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities.

"In March I received the Charity Fundraiser of the Year award from Vectis Radio."

Those wishing to donate can do so through Christopher's Just Giving page online.
