A fundraiser called 'Speedo Mick' famous for walking across the UK in swimming trunks has completed his final charity walk after reaching his goal of raising £1m.

Michael Cullen, 58, completed his latest challenge yesterday (Sun) which saw him walk the 1000-mile journey across Britain from John O'Groats to Land's End.

Over the past nine years, Michael has completed a series of challenges including scaling the three peaks - Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon - all while facing freezing temperatures in his speedos.

This latest challenge has seen him raise just over £200,000 bringing his total fundraising over the last nine years to £1 million.

Speaking after completing it, Michael, of Liverpool, said: "There has been £1m donated but it hasn't been donated by me it has been donated by the general public.

"So I can't take credit for that for the million quid but I will take credit for the blisters, the chafing and the aches and pains.

"I just want to say thank you for every single penny that has been donated to good causes right across the country."

Michael set off from John O'Groats four months ago after completing the same journey twice before in 2019 and 2020.

He embarked on his final leg from Penzance around 10am on Saturday morning donning his trademark speedos shouting "what could go wrong?"

As he arrived at Land's End crowds of people gathered to watch Michael complete his final challenge for charity.

Michael had previously said he would be "hanging up my Blue knickers for ever more" after this "final stomp" as he wanted to spend more time with his family.

"I'm freezing cold, but I'm excited to see all of my family," he added.

"I just want to see my own bed... just want to have some beans on toast."

"I'm a bit knackered now I also want to spend more time with my loved ones as we don't have them forever do we?"
