A WESTBURY man whose wife says he is hairy like a gorilla is all set for a full upper body wax to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Howie Walker, of Newfield Close, is going to have his head, chest, arms, armpits, back and eyebrows waxed next week, because his 22-year-old niece Hannah Coates was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma at the age of just 22.

The 63-year-old, who has worked as a driver for Summit Chairs in Trowbridge for 20 years, says he is a little nervous about getting the upper body wax done at Vanilla the Essence of Hair & Beauty - but he knows he cannot back out of it now.

“I thought to myself that there must be something more I can do to help my niece and then someone joked that I should get waxed, so I accepted the challenge,” he said. “My wife says I am hairy like a gorilla.”
