It was only a matter of time before people started taking the popular Ice Bucket challenge to extreme and in this case, dark places.

46-year-old mechanic Colin Meyrick, from Llanhilleth, Wales, agreed to have 30 litres of old engine oil poured over his head, with all the money raised would go to a cancer charity in memory of his late mother.

The total amount raised has now topped £1,200 (€1,500).
