This Man Says He's Walking Around Essex In A Gimp Suit To Raise Money For Charity

But he's raising more than a few eyebrows in the process.

A man who dresses up in a rubber "gimp" fetish suit and walks around towns in Essex to raise money is attempting to challenge stereotypes, he told the BBC.

"When I first starting going out in my suit, someone suggested I could make a charity thing out of it."

He donates a pound to charity every time someone takes a photo with him and posts it to his Facebook page.

However, reaction has been split, with many people being friendly, but others making the assumption he was a "paedophile or pervert".

So far he has raised £375 for Colchester Mind, a mental health charity.
