Watch teenage boy perform hotpants version of MoneySuperMarket ad in front of startled shoppers

"I was just doing it for an event and now it’s become massive," he said.

"They already had someone dressed up to do it and I said I wanted to have a go.
“I have got size 10 feet and the heels were a size eight so I had to do it only a couple of times every hour so my feet wouldn’t be badly damaged in the process.
“It’s not normally something I would do but it was so much fun and I’m glad I did it for charity.

"I have done drag and heels before for a laugh but to do it for charity seemed more useful.
“We had a lot of people coming up and giving money.
"I’m absolutely shocked how viral the video has gone as I didn’t expect that.”

The stunt has raised a total of £1,000 for cancer charity Macmillan from donations online and in person.
Fellow fundraiser Mike Brome, 46, said: “The moneysupermarket advert is such a popular one and everybody seems to be copying it.
“I just thought it will cheer people up and give them something to talk about.
"We had the pants specially made and it was a good laugh."
