Bill is no stranger to flipping tyres - having previously smashed the world tyre flip challenge record.

He has also raised more than £50,000 for various charities across Lancashire after he dragged a sleigh, containing his 20 stone friend Barry Hastewell, who was dressed as santa, from Fleetwood back to Kirkham on December 2020.

He said: "It will be great to raise money and it’s all about getting people together, if you’re in the area and want to see a man suffer, come down and be a part of it."
