A council employee now has cold legs after having them waxed for charity at a beauty salon on Saturday.

Ed Vanson, 36, who works for Surrey County Council, raised about £100 for the British Heart Foundation as a result of the waxing at Aldabella in Epsom High Street.

Mr Vanson said: "It was obviously very uncomfortable and very unpleasant in places.

"I was definitely the centre of attention for a little bit."

He is already out training for his next challenge which involves running the length of the Thames and London Marathon in April.

He said: "I was out running on Sunday and that’s when I noticed the temperature change."
