Stand Up To Cancer Reverse Bungee Bum Wax with Channel 4 and Presenters
Channel 4's annual Stand Up To Cancer special took place on Friday the 15th of October, this year hosted by Davina McCall, Alan Carr, Adam Hills and Maya Jama.
The evening consisted of many famous faces from the world of sport, film, music and comedy, as well as a SU2C Gogglebox special. Funds raised during the festivities go towards vital cancer research. This is a hugely important cause as figures now suggest that 1 in 2 people will receive a cancer diagnosis during their lifetime.
Throughout the evening, Joe Lycett was given the all-important job of updating the amount of money raised. Once the show's fundraising target of £24 million was reached, it was time for the celebrity bum wax that was mentioned at the start of the show.
The UK Bungee club had been contacted to help with making the event something to remember and to help in raising as much money as possible. From this, it was decided to do a reverse bungee bum wax. Setting up outside of Wembley stadium and attaching Adam Hills to a harness and the cage, a wax strip was applied as he was set up for the catapult, which ripped the wax strip off as he went. All in the name of charity.
By the time the show came to an end there was a donation total of over £31million to go towards life changing research.
