Bar staff will take a break from pouring pints for a charity weigh-in in Wimbledon Village next week.

Seven employees at the Hand in Hand pub are battling to shed weight for a ‘biggest loser’ contest in aid of Cancer Research UK.

The competition - which has seen drinkers place bets on who will drop the most pounds - is set to finish at a charity party and auction night next Friday.

Drinkers at the pub in Crooked Billet have donated prizes including a signed Fernando Torres football shirt and Harlequins rugby jersey, meals in local restaurants and help from award-winning gardener Michael Carter.

Bidders can also win the chance to pour as much as beer as possible in one minute behind the bar.
