A SHOCKED city centre busker caught the moment she received her 'biggest tip' as she recorded a TikTok on Worcester's High Street.
Talented singer Jodie Lauren Music regularly records herself singing in Worcester and caught the heartwarming moment which she shared this week.
She explains that the day wasn't getting off to a great start when her card machine broke meaning she was losing out on tips.
But a man who had sat on a bench close by to listen eventually approaches her.
The pair talk about how difficult it is to be a busker while he waits around to tip her with Jodie Lauren saying the machine is set at a £2 tip.
However, the generous passerby said he wanted to type in an amount before handing the device back.
After looking at the card reader Jodie says "no way," and asks "are you sure?" before the stranger says "yes".

A visibly shocked Jodie Lauren holds up the card reader to reveal the man had tipped her £100 as he tells her to "keep going".
She said he doesn't need to do that but the man is more than happy to give the talented singer the bumper tip.
Following up with kind words, he tells her: "Honestly, you will go far."
Words flash up on the TikTok saying she was feeling "in shock and extremely grateful" and "what a kind man, so generous. This meant so much".
The video has clocked up 14k views and over 1.5k likes with the video captioned: "I couldn’t believe this…how kind of him! this means so much to a musician, the support really helps thank you so much!!!!"

Another added: "omg what a nice guy need more kind guys like him."
