Leicester's ironman is preparing for his most painful stunt yet, in the hope of breaking a world record.

Manjit Singh will be attaching weights to his eye sockets using metal hooks, and will then lift the two weights, totalling 25kg, at least 10cm and hold them there for five seconds.

If he succeeds, he will break the current record of 23.5kg set in China.

"I have special metal hooks that go over the bone at the bottom of my eye socket," said the 62-year-old.

The feat is due to take place in Leicester on Thursday.

    “I know they say records are there to be broken but I'm not sure I agree in this instance! It sounds absolutely crazy, but best of luck Manjit!”
