Sean Heaney, a Preston pool player, agreed to let customers at The Sun Hotel wax his body in return for a donation to the Rosemere Cancer Foundation.

Sean is a member of the pubs’ pool team and he raised £252 and was left with no eyebrows and patches of hair missing from his back, chest and legs.

DJ Johnny Allen encouraged pubgoers at the Friargate pub on as the fundraising event continued.
