An Isle of Wight man has braved the shave to raise money to support suicide awareness charities.

Christopher Hayton, dressed as the antihero, Deadpool, was raising cash and mental health awareness.

Earlier this month he got his chest waxed, in memory of his cousin, Liselle.

So far raising £250, Christopher wants to help set up dedicated mental health hubs on the Island, with volunteer support workers to run them.

Thanking supporter, Red Squirrel Property Shop, and others, he paid a visit to Rebecca Taylor, at Newport's Red House Spa for his challenge.

He told the Isle of Wight County Press: "It did hurt and it was worth it."
